Alexander II became Tsar of Russia on March 2, 1855, following the death of his father, Nicholas I. His full name was Alexander II Nikolaevich, and he ruled as Tsar from 1855 until his assassination in 1881. Alexander II is often remembered for his significant reforms, including the emancipation of the serfs in 1861, which aimed to modernize and liberalize various aspects of Russian society. Despite these reform efforts, his reign faced challenges and ended tragically with his assassination by political radicals.
