Why Were Czar Nicholas Of Russia And His Family Executed?
The Czar was selfish and lazy. He wouldn’t help his people, they were all poor and starving while him and his family were sitting up in their palace living like royalty. Eventually the people got so furious with him that they wanted him executed. Their thoughts were, who gave him the special privilege to take away all of our money, raise our taxes, and let us die and allow him to live in riches. Why should they suffer at his expense, he didn’t help them at all.
The Tsar and his family were executed to prevent the possibility of being restored to the throne. Sure, there were other distant relatives, but no-one to really rally around like the core royal family. Also, it sent a message to the rest of the world that this new regime was serious.. and ruthless.
