The first Russian Revolution in March of 1917, brought in a new provisional government. As allies with France and England the new government remained in the war, even though its army was being badly beaten by Germany. The war caused many hardships in Russia, and part of the success of the October 1917 Bolshevik Revolution was Lenin's pledge to pull out of the war. To do this however, meant that the German treaty presented to Lenin was painful for Russia. It had to be signed however, as Germany was still successfully fighting the Russians in the east.
