Answer:
<u>The first step would have been to avoid war with Japan during the Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905. This war cost the Russians two Battleship Fleets and caused the Battleship Potemkin to mutiny in 1905 (Russian Battleship Potemkin was from the only remaining Russian Fleet stationed in the Black Sea); Japanese intelligence staff also financed some of the Bolshevik covert operations which were undermining the Tsar (whom Japan was at war with); including the financing of Lenin himself. Had the Russo-Japanese War not occurred. Russia would have at least survived past WW1. As history records, Tsarist Russia fell in 1917, one year before the end of WW1, which was 1918. The Tsar could have given his people more food and listen to them. He could have gotten out of WW1 earlier. At the same time he could have given more power to the duma.</u>
Explanation:
Because of his inaptitude and inadequate decisions and inability to change with the times he paved the path for revolution. This revolution in 1917 led to the end of his family's dynasty, the end of the autocracy in Russia. Who Was Nicholas II? Nicholas II inherited the throne when his father, Alexander III, died in 1894. Although he believed in an autocracy, he was eventually forced to create an elected legislature. Nicholas II's handling of Bloody Sunday and World War I incensed his subjects and led to his abdication. In March 1917, the army garrison at Petrograd joined striking workers in demanding socialist reforms, and Czar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate. In July 1918, the advance of counterrevolutionary forces caused the Yekaterinburg Soviet forces to fear that Nicholas might be rescued. Lenin saw an opportunity to seize power for himself and took it. He returned to Petrograd and convened a meeting of his party on October 10. Lenin then forced through a decision (by 10 votes to 2) to prepare an uprising. According to the official state version of the USSR, former Tsar Nicholas Romanov, along with members of his family and retinue, was executed by firing squad, by order of the Ural Regional Soviet, due to the threat of the city being occupied by Whites (Czechoslovak Legion).
I would make an assumption and say A.
