Which Russian dynasty lasted from 1613 to 1917 and ended with the Russian Revolution?

• A. Rurik Dynasty
• B. Romanov Dynasty
• C. Habsburgs
• D. Tudor Dynasty

Answer: (B)

This question tests recognizing the long-lasting Russian ruling house and the events that ended it. The Romanov dynasty began after the Time of Troubles, when Michael I was chosen in 1613 to restore stable rule, and it governed Russia for about three centuries, guiding the empire through major changes from Peter the Great’s reforms and expansion to late 18th- and 19th-century modernization efforts. The dynasty ended in 1917 when Nicholas II abdicated during the Russian Revolution, ending autocratic rule and paving the path to the Soviet era. The other houses—Rurik predating 1613, and foreign dynasties like the Habsburgs or the Tudor line—do not match the specific Russian lineage and period described.
