Nicholas experienced despite being raised in a palace a happy upbringing in the Romanov household. Educated by several tutors, Nicholas studied languages, history, sciences, horsemanship, shooting, and dancing. What he was not schooled in, unfortunately for Russia, was how to function as a monarch. Czar Alexander III, healthy and robust at six-foot-four, planned to rule for decades.
At the age of nineteen, Nicholas joined an exclusive regiment of the Russian Army and also served in the horse artillery. The tsesarevich didn't actually participate in any serious military activities; these commissions were more akin to a finishing school for the upper class. Nicholas took advantage of the freedom to attend parties and balls with few responsibilities.
Julius Caesar and Csar Nicholas ll were born in different social economic levels and different time in history.

Opposition to the tsar grew and Nicholas was forced to grant a constitution and establish a parliament, the Duma.
In February 1917, widespread popular demonstrations began in the capital Petrograd as St Petersburg was renamed in 1914. Nicholas lost the support of the army and had no alternative but to abdicate. The tsar and his family were held in various locations, eventually being imprisoned in Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains.
In October 1917, the Bolsheviks overthrew the provisional government. Following a harsh peace treaty with Germany in March 1918, Russia descended into civil war. On 17 July 1918, as anti-Bolsheviks approached Yekaterinburg, Nicholas and his family were executed. This was almost certainly on the orders of the Bolshevik leader Vladimir
