The Confederates burned Richmond as President Davis and his cabinet fled to make sure the Union Army could not use Confederate resources.
During the American Civil War, Richmond became the capital of the Confederate States of America.
On April 2, 1865, more than 25% of the buildings in the city were destroyed by fire after the withdrawal of the Confederate soldiers, who burned all the Confederate resources to make them unusable for the Union.
On April 3, 1865, Ulysses S. Grant and the Union Army captured Richmond, and the state capital was then transferred to Lynchburg. The Army of North Virginia, commanded by Robert Lee retired and surrendered six days later before Grant in the Appomattox Court House, becoming the symbolic end of the war.

In March 1917, the army barracks at Petrograd united striking workers in challenging socialist reforms, and Czar Nicholas II was enforced to step down from his leadership. Nicholas and his family were first detained at the Czarskoye Selo palace, then in the Yekaterinburg palace near Tobolsk. In July 1918, the improvement of anti-revolutionary forces caused the Yekaterinburg Soviet forces to fear that Nicholas might be set free. After a secret meeting, a death sentence was approved on the imperial family, and Nicholas, his wife, his children, and several of their servants were gunned down on the night of July 16.
