For my national study i have to " assess the key factors in the fall of the Romanov Dynasty". What main topics could i concentrate on? and how would i start with my introduction?

cheers

We had to study this in year 11. Try looking at:
the unrest in the cities - poor living and working conditions
the spread of communist and socialist ideology within the proletariat
the Tzar as a leader. Did his personality fit the role and why did he stay in control?
The role of the 1905 revolution
Rasputin and what the people thought of the Tzarina
The role of WW1.

I found it good to compare and contrast statistics from before and after WW1 so that you could clearly see how bad things got. Also the last days before the provisional govt. took control of the country.

Hope that helps

talk about the russo-japanese war briefly but focus on the politics... its AALLL bout the politics, the revolutions... the romanov family itself, the impact WW1 had on Russian middle and lower class all that kind of stuff helps
and lots of quotes
i got 33 out of 35 for mine
