Which years mark the duration of the Romanov Dynasty in Russia?

• A. 1682-1725
• B. 1440-1589
• C. 1812-1914
• D. 1613-1917

Answer: (D)

The basic idea is to identify when a dynasty starts and ends by its first ruler and its last ruler’s departure from power. The Romanov dynasty begins in 1613, when Michael I was chosen as tsar after the Time of Troubles, and it ends in 1917, when Nicholas II abdicated during the Russian Revolution. So 1613-1917 covers the entire period of Romanov rule. For context, the dynasty includes rulers like Peter the Great within that span, but the dynasty itself started with Michael I, not with Peter. Other date ranges either point to different dynasties or to only parts of the Romanov era, not its full duration.
