| ARTICLES RELATED TO Romanov | | | |  Romanov: Encyclopedia II - World War I - The Last Half of the WarEvents of 1917 would prove decisive in ending the war, although their effects would not be fully felt until 1918. The Entente's naval blockade of Germany began to have a serious impact on morale and productivity on the German home-front. In response, in February 1917, the German General Staff (OHL) were able to convince Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg to declare unrestricted submarine warfare, with the goal of starving Britain out of the war. Tonnage sunk rose above 500,000 tons per month from February until July, peaking at 860,000 ...

| | | | | Romanov: Encyclopedia II - Muscovy - Rise of Muscovy When the Mongols invaded the lands of Kievan Rus', Moscow was an insignificant trading outpost in the principality of Vladimir-Suzdal'. Though Mongols burnt down Moscow in the winter 1238 and pillaged it in 1293, the outpost's remote, forested location offered some security from Mongol attack and occupation, and a number of rivers provided access to the Baltic and Black Seas and to the Caucasus region. More important to Moscow's development in what became the state of Muscovy, however, was its rule by a series of princes who were ambitious, ...

| | | | | Romanov: Encyclopedia II - Elizabeth of Russia - Life before becoming Empress Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of Peter the Great and Martha Skavronskaya, was born at Kolomenskoye, near Moscow, on 18 December 1709 (O.S.). As her parents were not married at that time, her illegitimacy would be used by political opponents to challenge her right to the throne.
Even as a child her parts were good, if not brilliant, but unfortunately her education was both imperfect and desultory. Her father had no leisure to devote to her training, and her mother was too illiterate to superintend her studies. She had a French gover ...

On 8 August 1914 a combined French and British Empire force invaded the German protectorate of Togoland in West Africa.

| | | | | Romanov: Encyclopedia II - World War I - Causes On June 28, 1914, Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb student. The Archduke was there to assert imperial authority over a disputed province. Princip was supported by pan-Serbian nationalists, with links to the Serbian military. Though this assassination is usually considered the immediate trigger for the war, its origins can be traced back to the complex web of alliances and counterbalances that developed between the various European pow ...

| | | | | Romanov: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - Healer to the Tsarevich Rasputin was wandering as a pilgrim in Siberia when he heard reports of Tsarevich Alexei's hemophilia in 1904. The disease had been inherited from his great-grandmother (Queen Victoria). Rasputin was regarded as the last resort of the desperate Tsar and Tsarina. They had tried everywhere to find a cure for their son and in 1905 asked the charismatic peasant healer for help. He was said to possess the ability to heal through prayer, and he was indeed able to give the boy some relief. Skeptics have claimed that he did so by hypnosis, though du ...

| | | | | Romanov: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - Reputation The contemporary press, as well as sensationalist articles and books published in the 1920s and 1930s (one of them even by Yussoupov), turned the charismatic peasant into something of a 20th century folk belief. To Westerners, Rasputin became the embodiment of purported Russian backwardness, superstition, irrationality and licentiousness, and an object of sensational interest; to the Russian Communists, he represented all that was evil in the old regime and had been overcome in the revolution. Yet to some Russians, he remained a symbol of th ...

The Great Scandal - Background.
Pope Pius XI (birth name Achille Ratti) came to office shortly after a 1918-1921 tenure in Poland. Thus, he was acutely aware of the violent revolution, civil war, and adoption of Marxism-Leninism in the neighbouring Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Soviet Union) —he was in Warsaw when it was threatened by the Red Army—and of Soviet hostility toward organized religion.

Attempting to remove them from the vicinity of the capital and so from possible harm, the Kerensky government moved them east to Tobolsk, in Siberia in August 1917.
