The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The absolute rule of Peter the Great, Frederick II and Catherine the Great was different from the absolutism of earlier European monarchs in that they had a little bit more interested in the welfare of their people, and were not as self-centered as the many European monarchs of the time. They were more open to listening to ideas that could benefit them but also their servants.
They were similar to the other Kings and Queens of Europe in that they exerted their power and control over their territories. They were absolute Kings or Queens and imposed absolutist measures to consolidate their reigns.
Answer: The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that took place mostly during the 1930s, beginning in the United States. The timing of the Great Depression varied across the world; in most countries, it started in 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s. It was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century. The Great Depression started in the United States after a major fall in stock prices that began around September 4, 1929, and became worldwide news with the stock market crash of October 29, 1929, (known as Black Tuesday). Between 1929 and 1932, worldwide gross domestic product (GDP) fell by an estimated 15%. By comparison, worldwide GDP fell by less than 1% from 2008 to 2009 during the Great Recession. Some economies started to recover by the mid-1930s. However, in many countries, the negative effects of the Great Depression lasted until the beginning of World War II.

So they are completely justified in renouncing his rule.
