16)  The Massacre of the Tsar and the Imperial Family
As civil war raged across Russia in 1918, the deposed Tsar and his family were imprisoned. On 16th July they were massacred and buried secretly in the forest. Almost immediately though, rumours sprang up that not all the imperial family were dead...
Revolution erupted in Russia and the reign of the Tsars, absolute rulers for more than two centuries, was over. Tsar Nicholas II, hated for his inefficiency and for his close association with the "mad monk" Rasputin, was taken prisoner with his wife and five children. They were held captive but this powerful family was too dangerous to be left alive. In July 1918, at Ekaterinburg, the Imperial family was suddenly slaughtered.
