During the February Revolution, Czar Nicholas II, ruler of Russia
since 1894, is forced to abdicate the throne by the Petrograd
insurgents, and a provincial government is installed in his place.
Crowned
on May 26, 1894, Nicholas was neither trained nor inclined to rule,
which did not help the autocracy he sought to preserve in an era
desperate for change. The disastrous outcome of the Russo-Japanese War
led to the Russian Revolution
of 1905, which the czar diffused only after signing a manifesto
promising representative government and basic civil liberties in Russia.
However, Nicholas soon retracted most of these concessions, and the
Bolsheviks and other revolutionary groups won wide support. In 1914,
Nicholas led his country into another costly war, and discontent in
Russia grew as food became scarce, soldiers became war-weary, and
devastating defeats on the eastern front demonstrated the czar’s
ineffectual leadership.
In March 1917, the army garrison at
Petrograd joined striking workers in demanding socialist reforms, and
Czar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate. Nicholas and his family were
first held at the Czarskoye Selo palace, then in the Yekaterinburg
palace near Tobolsk. In July 1918, the advance of counterrevolutionary
forces caused the Yekaterinburg Soviet forces to fear that Nicholas
might be rescued. After a secret meeting, a death sentence was passed on
the imperial family, and Nicholas, his wife, his children, and several
of their servants were gunned down on the night of July 16.

Answer:</h3>
Origins of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict
After World War II, the Ottoman Empire fell apart and became mandates. Modern-day Israel was controlled by England at the time. Originally, the British promised the land to the Islamic Palestinians. However, after the Balfour declaration, the land went to the Jewish Israelis. This angered the Palestinians and they began to fight for their land.
Fighting in Israel
The Palestinians were not the only ones that attempted to fight the Balfour declaration. Other Arabs joined the Palestinians. On the other hand, the zionists, people that believed in creating a homeland for the Jewish, joined the Israelis. The Arabs used Pan-Arabism to try and take their land back. This attempt focused on the Palestinians' ethnicity, not religion. However, later Muslim groups banded together and the fight became more focused on religion. Throughout the fighting the Israelis were backed by European nations, so they were able to win almost every battle.
Continued Fighting
The holy city of Jerusalem is located in land currently claimed by Israel. Jerusalem is extremely important to both Islam and Judaism. So, neither side is willing to give up the fight. This continues the fighting. Additionally, both sides want control of the coastline for the economic benefits that come from maritime trading.
