(Spoilers to come.)

It's always been assumed that the only way for the Doctor to end the war was to destroy his people as well as the enemy, but at the end of season four more is revealed. As he explains in The End of Time, during the Time War the Time Lords were becoming too ruthless and too ambitious.

A quote from The End of Time:

Lord President: "We will ascend, to become creatures of consciousness alone. Free of these bodies, free of time, and cause and effect, while creation itself ceases to be."

The Doctor: " You see now? That's what they were planning, in the final days of the war... I had to stop them."

The Time Lords had been poisoned by war and ambition, and the Doctor had to stop them from going too far (as he began to do himself in The Waters of Mars) and becoming gods themselves, so he destroyed them and ended the Time War.

Who is The Doctor and why does he hate his planet?

There was a Great Time War between 2 races. The Time lords and the Daleks. The war lasted for thousands of years before The War Doctor (400 years younger than matt smith's doctor) decided to detonate The Moment. The Moment is a weapon of mass destruction created by the Time lords. And the Doctor used it to end the Time War. Before he was consumed by The Moment's power, he stole one of the timeships from the Time lords to flee his planet, Gallifrey. Wiping out the Time lords and nearly the Daleks. The Doctor never hated his planet, but destroyed the Planet in hopes of saving more lives in the process. Now he is the last of the Time lords. Travelling through Time and relative dimensions in space... Alone. He didn't want to see the same fate of other worlds, so he swore to defeat evil forces from harming innocent people and changing history. The Time lords had a power, called "Regeneration" which allowed them to cheat death by changing their appearance, gender, and voice. The reason his people didn't survive is because it all happened too fast for them to regenerate.

Who is River Song?

River Song is an older version of Amy and Rory's daughter (Melody Pond) and probable love interest of the Doctor. Having been conceived in the TARDIS (the Doctor's time machine), Melody Pond/River Song received a very high exposure to the time vortex, resulting in her DNA being partly similar to that of the Time Lords. This means that River has the ability to regenerate, although she used up the rest of her regenerations to save the Doctor.

How does the Doctor obtain the TARDIS?

He 'borrowed' it from the Time Lords. Originally, Time Lords did not interfere with other goings-on around the universe, but sat and watched, unless something needed to be done, in which case they got the Doctor to do the dirty work. They lent him the TARDIS to use to do so in. However, all of the Time Lords but the Doctor and the Master were killed along with their home planet Gallifrey, in the deadly Time War against the evil Daleks. The Doctor was devastated by the consequences of the war, but kept the TARDIS to hop around time and space and carry on righting wrongs.
