Who were the Czars?

Czars: Rulers of Russia

The czars were the rulers of Russia from the 16th century to the early 20th century. The term "czar" is derived from the Russian word "tsar," which means "emperor." The czars were absolute monarchs who held ultimate power and authority over the country and its people. The most well-known dynasty of czars was the Romanov dynasty, which ruled from 1613 to 1917. The last czar of Russia was Nicholas II, who was overthrown in the Russian Revolution and eventually executed along with his family.
