Was he really such a bad ruler, or did he get dealt a really bad hand?
>>18289576Both. Bad economy + incompetent ruler is when revolutions happen
>>18289576>lost a war with Japan (first white leader to get BTFO by non-whites) in which he lost the entire Baltic fleet>almost got overthrown by commies shortly after (warning red lights should have flashed there)>had his ass saved by Stolypin reforms>didn't use this breathing room to improve literacy or the economy or the situation of the peasants or do anything else, just the bare minimum reforms to coast by for a few more years>got cucked by Rasputin some backward mystic, someone the entire country disliked>tried to direct his troops in WW1 exposing himself to awful results he could be directly blamed forHe was a retard
>>18289576kinda, but he also inherited a very dysfunctional country so he was kinda doomed anyway
>>18289576>AAAAAAAH I HAVE TO DEFEND SERBIA >AND SEND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MY SUBJECTS TO THEIR DEATHS FOR SOME SOUTH SLAV SHITHOLE NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT >I'M ABSOLUUUUTINGI will say in his defense that he didn't have the benefit of hindsight as we do now. So what he did might have seemed a rational course of action
He stepped down which is what the liberal dumacrats insisted on for his entire reign. He gave them what they wanted and they hated him for it because they fucked up the situation in less than a year and got bagged on by superior communists.
Too dumb to just hand the reigns over to the libs and live it out easy as a constitutional monarch
