Objective of the source To show the British and Russian queen´s life
Position of the author(s) To show the beauty of the Russian style and
the queen's one, “the sarafan-style dress,
traditional in Russia, became a fashionable
item in Britain. Remarkably, the dress worn
by Princess Charlotte was made using
French silk and was assembled in Britain.”
Limitations of the source: It's not really showing the reality that Russia
was leaving at that time, but about the things
they wanted to live and to focus on,
probably to forget about all the disaster.
Report
World War I, also known as the Great War, began in 1914 after the assassination of
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. His murder catapulted into a war across Europe that
lasted until 1918. During the conflict, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman
Empire (the Central Powers) fought against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania,
Canada, Japan and the United States (the Allied Powers). Thanks to new military
technologies and the horrors of trench warfare, World War I saw unprecedented levels of

The Romanovs fell due to the economic, political, and social problems that plagued
Russia during the 19th century. These problems led to a revolution that overthrew Tsar
Nicholas II in 1917.
The Romanovs are known for their economic, political and social characteristics.
They were very wealthy because they controlled most of the country's natural resources as
well as its manufacturing industry, which provided them with a large income from taxes on
trade and exports. The country's economic situation improved when the government began
The Romanovs were the last dynasty of Russia. The Romanovs ruled from 1613 to
1917, when Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown in a revolution. They were an absolute
monarchy and their reign was characterized by a centralized administration and an extensive
bureaucracy.
The Romanovs had ruled Russia for more than 300 years, but their reign was coming
to an end in 1917. The country was still a largely agrarian society with a small industrial base
and deep-seated traditions of autocracy and serfdom. Neither Nicholas nor his son, Alexei,
Tsar Nicholas II was unable to rule effectively. He made poor decisions that led to
worsening relations with the government and increased hardship for civilians and soldiers
alike.
He was detached from the plight of the Russian people and his policies also alienated
ethnic minorities.

hopes.
