Question

Who were the Romanovs?

Answer 1

They created order after the "time of troubles" and led Russia for over 300 years. Tsar Nicholas's abdication should be seen as a failure.

Explanation:

Peter I created the Russian Empire and began a era of expansion.
The Russian Empire's large extent was due to the Romanov energy. The creation and administration of such a large country would be their lasting legacy.

The Romanov family were elevated to Tsars after the "time of troubles" that existed after the death of Ivan the Terrible.
