What event caused Lenin to return to Russia from exile?
The February 1917 Russian Revolution brought Lenin back to Russia. He had been living in Switzerland at the time and the revolution took him by surprise. The German High Command arranged for Lenin to be transported from Switzerland to Russia in a diplomatically sealed train. The Germans wanted Lenin to create more revolutionary disruption in the hope that a new Russian government would get Russia out of World War I.
What was the 'sealed train' Lenin used to return to Russia from Germany in 1917?
It was a diplomatically-sealed train originating in Switzerland and bound for Russia, traversing Germany and Sweden. The Germans allowed the transit, not taking any chances that Lenin would disembark in Germany to spread his Communist propaganda, but fully welcoming the idea of him inciting revolt in Russia, which was at war with Germany. For this, Lenin's foes in Russia had denounced him as a "German spy". While he most likely was not anybody's spy, the revolution he eventually led certainly played into Germans' hands.
Major events in the ending of World War 1?
The Russian Revolution led to a desire in Russia to withdraw from the Tsar's war. They negotiated the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. It was a disastrous treaty for Russia but Lenin bet that Germany would soon be defeated so the treaty would be null and void and Russia would lose nothing. America's entry following the sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman Telegram sealed Germany's fate. German troops transferred from the Eastern Front couldn't compare to US troops flooding in, despite weak tactics. Italy not joining the war in 1914 on Germany's side followed by them switching to join the UK and France in 1915 was a semi-important reason. The battles in particular showed that France and Britain were slowly pushing forward, with far superior technology such as the tanks.

How and why did Lenin return to Russia in April 1917?
Lenin was isolated in neutral Switzerland during the beginning of World War I. After receiving news of the February 1917 Revolution in Russia, he wanted to return there immediately to give instructions to the Bolsheviks about how to continue with the revolution and to defeat the Provisional Government. A Swiss Communist convinced the German government to send Lenin safely to Russia on a sealed train. The German government hoped that Lenin would provoke political unrest in his homeland, forcing Russia to surrender to the Germans, which would allow Germany to pull troops away from the Eastern Front to focus on the war in the Western Front.
