Best Answer

Germany hoped Lenin would be disruptive and stir up trouble in Russia in order to spark a revolution that would eventually take Russia out of World War 1, so it sent Lenin back to Russia. This would permit Germany to concentrate its military forces on other fronts instead of having to split them between two fronts. The strategy succeeded quickly since Lenin arrived in Russia in April 1917 and by October 25, 1917 (old style Russian calendar; November 7, new style) engineered the coupe that toppled the Provisional Government . In March 1918, Lenin, Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk ending Russia's participation in World War 1.

What does exile mean?

Exile is being forced to leave one's country or home. Voluntary exile is the departure from one's country due to political strife or dissension. Exile as a punishment is used by a state to remove disruptive citizens (this was the case of Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini). In some cases, notably that of Napoleon Bonaparte, a defeated foreign leader is banished or imprisoned to prevent his influence on his country's affairs.
