The war was going poorly for the Allies in 1917. Germany and Austria knocked Russia out of the war. A liberal democratic government was established in Russia, deposed the Czar but it proved too weak to keep the Russian army from mutiny and group of revolutionary Bolshevicks, led by Vladmir Lenin, seized power and established a communist government in Russia. The communists pulled Russia out of the war and reluctantly signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which Germany forced upon Russia. The Treaty convinced the Allies that Russia had not been the power they thought it was and it convinced many Americans that entry into the war was correct and necessary in order to stop the German conquest of Europe. However, the treaty also freed the German army to throw more troops into France. MrV The key provision of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was the removal of the following territories from the Russian Empire: * Russian Poland * The Baltic Republics * Finland * The Ukraine and the Crimea * Parts of Belarus * Some areas in the Caucasus were handed over to the Ottoman Empire. In a supplementary treaty, signed five months later, Russia agreed to pay US$6 billion in reparations to Germany. The aim was that these territories should become German (or Austrian) satellite countries. Of course, with the defeat of Germany and Austria-Hungary, the treaty became irrelevant, but for many German nationalists it seemed that they had been cruelly awoken from a dream - that of boundless expansion in Eastern Europe. This notion was, for example, absolutely central to Hitler's thinking on German expansion.

Russian losses in the early stages of WW-1 had reached into the millions.

The 1917 Revolution was over and the war was very unpopular. Lenin

needed peace at any cost and the concessions he made in this Treaty

would be void if the West defeated Germany. It was a win, win, for the

Bolsheviks so they signed on 3 March 1918.

Brest-Litovsk both saved and doomed Russia. It removed Russia from World War I and thus stopped the slaughter of poorly-equipped Russian soldiers and diveretd war funds back to their original purpose of improving Russia's peasants' lives. However, it strengthened Lenin and the Bolshevik's postion in power, therefore the power of communism, and paved the way for the Russian Civil War (1918-1921), which the Tsarists fought to return the Romanovs to the throne.
