The Romanov dynasty was the reigning royal family of Russia from 1613 until the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II in 1917, marking over 300 years of rule. The dynasty began with Michael I, who was elected as tsar after a period of turmoil known as the Time of Troubles. The Romanovs oversaw significant events in Russian history, including territorial expansion, modernization efforts, and eventual societal unrest that led to the Russian Revolution. Their reign ended with the fall of the monarchy during World War I and the subsequent rise of Bolshevik power.
