The Bolsheviks had the Romanov family assassinated in 1918 when a civil war broke out between the communists and monarchists. The communists' plan was to put a damper on the Tsarist war efforts by deleting the tsar they were trying to reinstate.

Nicholas II and his family were executed during the Russian Revolution, when Vladmir Lenin and the Bolsheviks overtook the royal Romanov family, forced Nicholas II to abdicate his rule, and kept them captive. They were killed on the grounds of mounting pressures resulting from World War I and years of oppression of the middle and lower classes.

The Czar and his family were killed in order to have no opposition during the Communist takeover of Russia. Supporters of the Romanov family were also either put in prison or executed.
