What hindered the Russian armies during Nicholas I's reign?

  • Weak economic system

  • Conflicting strategic commands

  • Lack of firepower

  • His micromanagement of the armies

Answer

Nicholas I's micromanagement of the armies hindered their success during his reign. He was a very controlling leader and wanted to be involved in every aspect of the military. This made it difficult for the generals to make decisions and lead their troops effectively. Additionally, Nicholas I was often unwilling to listen to advice from his generals, which further undermined their ability to lead.
