Chapter 143: Age of Nicholas II

While Bulgaria is celebrating victory, another big thing happened. The current Tsar of the Russian Empire-Alexander III-Alexandrovich died!
的 The life of Alexander III is also legendary!
In the early years, he was the emperor of the Russian Empire, the second son of Alexander II, and lived a carefree life. The throne had little to do with him.
But God made a big joke with him. His brother, Crown Prince Nicholas, accidentally fell off the horse in 1865, and died of a serious illness.
Then he unexpectedly became the new crown prince of the Russian Empire, and the accident was more than that. On March 13, 1881, his father Alexander II was accidentally assassinated by members of the Popular Party (People's Will Party) in St. Petersburg.
When a crown fell from the sky, he was not ready and immediately became the ruler of the Russian Empire. Then he led the Russian Empire to its peak in the late 19th century!
Economically: Since 1880, Alexander III presided over the formulation of Russia's economic development plan, and Russia began high-speed and large-scale industrialization.
During Alexander III, Russia's economic development reached a peak, not only military but also economically, becoming the world's leading power.
Diplomatically: Advocating the use of political means to achieve political intent and rarely using military means, so during the reign of Alexander III, the Russian Empire rarely waged war.
Russia is also actively pursuing pan-Slavism, mainly aimed at the Balkans and the Black Sea coast. This is obviously to expand Russia's influence in these regions and consolidate Russia's dominant position in the Slavic residential areas.
On the one hand, Russia's policies on the Balkan Peninsula have played a positive role in promoting its international status and promoting the development of the local national liberation movement.
Uh ...
Under the influence of Ferdinand, the Tsar who brought the Russian Empire to the top did not escape the claws of death. On November 24, 1894, he died in Crimea. (Remarks: The time is not necessarily accurate. The author found three answers. What can be determined is 1894. The specific dates are October 20 and November 24. I chose one on November 24. Do n’t worry, Just be the butterfly effect!)
The 26-year-old Nikola-Alexandrovich took over the burden of the Tsar, and the Russian Empire entered the era of Nicholas II!
However, Nikola-Alexandrovich was not ready. After all, Alexander III was very young, and he was less than fifty years old before his death!
Now Ferdinand's most important task is to attend the funeral of Alexander III, and to comfort the sad queen.
Since Tsar Alexander III was killed when his father was killed that year, he has always lived in the suburbs and hid at home. Every year, he rarely goes out except to Denmark.
Because there isn't most outdoor sports, and I like to drink alcohol, and my body is fat, I later supported the train with my body during the train derailment event.
He overwhelmed the kidneys, and these factors led to his premature death.
六 In June 1894, Queen Maria was shocked by her husband's appearance. Alexander was much thinner and often suffered from insomnia. The doctor was finally diagnosed and he had nephritis. He was terminally ill at the time. The news came that Princess Chenia returned to St Petersburg in advance!
Because of the tsar's illness, the whole family went to Livadia in Crimea for treatment. Livadia in Crimea faces the sea and is the most beautiful place in Russia.
底 At the end of October, Alexander III's condition became worse, his breathing became difficult, and he coughed up blood. He had notified the major nobles of Europe.
Jeff Ferdinand did not set off immediately due to the drag of the Paso War. Now that the dust has settled, of course he has to catch up.
As the emperor of the Russian Empire, the funeral of Alexander III must not be handled hastily. Representatives from major nobles and royal families in Europe and major countries around the world must participate.
In fact, the relationship between European nobles is completely chaotic.
亲 Relatives can always be found among the ancient nobles! No matter how bad the relationship between the two countries is, everyone behind the door is still a relative. At this time, it is not a deep hatred, and no one will come to add a block.
At the funeral of Alexander III, the members of the European royal family, as well as Ferdinand, including 6 kings, personally came to see him farewell.
Jeff Ferdinand once again saw the influence of the Russian Empire. Compared to his last wedding, the status of this visitor is much higher!
The puppet ceremony was attended by members of the royal family of Britain, Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Portugal, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, Greece, etc. Thousands of Russians gathered to bid farewell to the emperor who sent the Russian Empire to the top,
Well, just after the funeral, Ferdinand attended the succession celebration of Nicholas II, and hurriedly returned to Sofia. Now Bulgaria still has a lot of problems that he needs to handle ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Shenia The princess' mood was much better than he thought. At the beginning, I heard that Alexander III was crying to death when he was critically ill, and now he had recovered.
Jeff Ferdinand thought that this might be the attitude of Europeans to life and death. Let the past die with the wind, and the lives of the living people must continue as usual!
的 The death of Alexander III, the Russian Empire has entered the era of Nicholas II, this is also good news for Bulgaria!
An emperor who advocates the eastward rise, the eastward strategy of the Russian Empire can no longer be blocked!
This is undoubtedly good news for Bulgaria, which is committed to expanding in the Balkans.
After all, at the end of the 19th century, the Russian Empire reached its peak in both economic and military terms, and it did not change from prosperity to decline until 1905!
From the diplomatic relations of the European powers, it can be seen that during this period, the "French-Russian League" still had an advantage over the "German-Austrian League". The primary enemy of the British was the Russian Empire!
The English-Russian contradiction, the English-French contradiction, and the German-French contradiction were the three major contradictions in the world at that time, followed by the Russian-Olympic contradiction. English-German relations were still quasi-ally.
Only then has the strategy of "moving disasters eastward". In the Far East strategy of the Russian Empire, with the exception of France, all European countries are welcoming.
Even Germany, the world's first army, is full of worries about "European rollers". The endless gray animals are enough to scare any European country!
Until after the "Russian-Russian War", the whole world did not see the rotten nature of the Russian Empire. In order to continue to implement the European "balancing strategy", the British had to change their foreign policy and instead support the "French-Russian Alliance" and began to suppress the rising Germany.
