Why did the Tsarist autocracy collapse in 1917?

The people of Russia lost faith in their king, and there were chaos and mistrust among the common people. The policies implemented by the Tsar proved inefficient, and people were dissatisfied with Tsar’s policies. The Tsar not only imposed his policies on Russians but imposed several restrictions on the people. Political activities were completely oppressed, and the voting rights were taken away, and nobody was allowed to question the policies implemented by Nicolas II (Tsar). He also dismissed the two Dumas conservatives were brought to the Parliament. The Tsar did not consult the Duma and took decisions on his own during the First World War, which resulted in massive causalities. Crops were burnt which created a shortage of food for the Russian soldiers. All these incidents resulted in the collapse of Tsarist autocracy.
