Two wars were going on when Tsar Nicholas II and his family were murdered by the Bolsheviks in July 1918. They were World War 1 and the Russian Civil War. Although Russia was out of World War 1 by that time, the war did not end until November 11, 1918. The Russian Civil War had just begun as a full fledged civil war in June 1918.

What leader was killed as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution?

Czar Nicholas the Second was killed as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution. The Czar had abdicated his throne as a result of the February Revolution in 1917; however he and his family were kept alive for over a year. The intent of the Provisional Government was to send him to England. After the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917, the Czar came under the control of the Bolsheviks. Since the Bolsheviks were not universally accepted as the new power in Russia, the Russian Civil War broke out. In July 1918, the Bolsheviks realized that the Czar and his family had to be killed in order to stamp out any hope by the other side in the Civil War of restoring the Czar to the throne and reversing the gains from the two revolutions.


Why did they Czar government collapse in World War 1?

The Russian czar government collapsed during World War 1 primarily due to a combination of military failures, economic crises, and widespread discontent among the Russian population. The war effort placed immense strain on the already weakened economy and led to food shortages and inflation. The czar's autocratic rule and inability to effectively address these issues further eroded public support, leading to popular uprisings and the eventual overthrow of the monarchy.

What did Czar Nicholas the II do in World War 1?

Czar Nicholas II was the ruler of Russia at the start of World War I. Some say he welcomed his country's involvement in World War I because he approved of the mobilization of Russia. He was ruler at a point in time in which Russia was a pretty imperialistic nation, and while many of his people were in favor him, he and his family were killed by a Bolshevik group in 1917. You can Wikipedia him to find a pretty detailed bio as far as what battles he was a part of and by looking at the Bolshevik organization as well you'll get more insight on his death and why he was killed. Just thought I'd share a bit more information than the previous answer gave.
