Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Romanovs were very interesting and their story convoluted and tragic!. Heres some interesting things you can invetigate on your own and maybe add into your report:

1!. They were an imperial dynasty, the most famous being Czar Nicholas II, deposed during WWI and executed as the other contributor excellently described!.
2!. They were despised by a large number of Russians due to their imperial regal and excess while the bulk of their country starved and froze to death!. They were very to put it into todays term "out of touch with the people!."
3!. The Czarovich (Nicholas II's son) was a hemophiliac, many royal families of the time were inbred and related to each other, the Romanovs were no exception!. The Czarovich inherited this disease due to his relation to Queen Victoria who carried the recessive gene!.
4!. The family hired an astrologer "wizard" named Gregor Rasputin to guide them in imperial matters!. He is one of history's most notorious figures known as the "mad monk!." No report on the Romanovs would be complete without at least a brief mention of him!. Ill leave it you to research him, get ready for some bizarre stuff!.
Best of luck!.

The Faberge eggs originated in the Russian royal family (Romanov dynasty) and were presented to Tsar/Czar Alexander III and Nicholas II!. The gifts started out as presents for their wives, made by the royal jewelers!. The eggs were Easter gifts, each one more elaborate than the next!.
The Romanov family dynasty ended on July 17, 1918 when Tsar Nicholas II was killed after being forced to abdicate his throne on March 15!. This happened because Nicholas' rule was hotly disliked in Russia, and the hate was spurred on by Communist ideas which spread throughout the country!. The Disney movie Anastasia is based on Nicholas' daughter, Anastasia, and what would have happened had she been found and met her grandmother!. However, this is just a story, as Anastasia was executed along with her father, mother, and siblings!. One interesting fact about this is although Anastasia, her sisters, and mother were killed, they died more slowly than her father because their mother had sewn jewels into their clothing to barter with in case they escaped!. Her brother died quickly as he had the "English bleeding disease"!. Hope this helps! Www@QuestionHome@Com
