Treaty of Brest-Litovsk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk marked a significant contraction of the territory held by the Bolsheviks: while the independence of Finland and Poland was already accepted in principle, the loss of Ukraine and the Baltics created dangerous bases of anti-Bolshevik military activity in the subsequent Russian Civil War (1918–20). The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was a peace treaty signed on March 3, 1918, at Brest, formerly "Brest-Litovsk", between Russia and the Central Powers, marking Russia's exit from World War I. The treaty was practically obsolete before the end of the year but is significant as a chief contributor, although unintentionally, to the independence of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Treaty_of_Brest-Litovsk   (718 words)

Brest, Belarus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In March 1918, in the Brest-Litovsk fortress on the western outskirts of Brest at the confluence of the Western Bug and Mukhavets Rivers, the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was signed, ending the war between Russia and the Central Powers and transferring the city and its surrounding region to the sphere of influence of the German Empire. In the former Brest-Litovsk fortress, heavily damaged during World War I, Polish troops with the headquarters of the 9th Military District were stationed, and the city itself became a capital of Polesie Voivodship (województwo poleskie).

BBC - History - War, Revolution and Civil War in Russia: The Eastern Front 1914 - 1921 However, the Central Powers responded to the Bolsheviks' appeal by agreeing to an armistice on the Eastern Front, and Lenin's lieutenant, Trotsky, found himself in the uncomfortable position, during the winter of 1917-18, of negotiating a separate peace treaty with Imperial Germany and her allies at the Polish town of Brest-Litovsk. When Germany, however, merely resumed its invasion of Russia on the Eastern Front, pushing further east in five days of February 1918 than it had in the previous three years (the German soldiers, to Trotsky's consternation, continued to obey their officers), the Bolsheviks were forced to sign the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk on 3 March 1918. This punitive treaty effectively handed over Finland, Poland, the Baltic provinces, Ukraine and Transcaucasia to the Central Powers, together with one-third of the old empire's population, one-third of its agricultural land and three-quarters of its industries. www.bbc.co.uk /history/war/wwone/eastern_front_04.shtml   (400 words)

Chapter Five - Trotsky and Brest-Litovsk Their later support for the signing of the Treaty was merely the obverse side of their opposition to the October insurrection: the two cannot be separated. In the treaty which followed, the Bolsheviks were forced to cede a large area of Byelorussia to Poland, which separated Germany and Lithuania from the Soviet Republic. But, on the one hand, the mood both of the mass of workers and the majority of the Party leadership was set against accepting the terms of the treaty which were not merely "humiliating", but a major disaster for the young Soviet state. www.marxist.com /LeninAndTrotsky/chapter05.html   (3137 words)

Philippines peace talks On March 3, 1918, the Bolsheviks were compelled to sign the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with the powerful and much better armed Germans. The way the Bolsheviks went into the Brest-Litovsk peace talks gave them the opportunity of promoting the struggle for peace by spreading the spirit of the revolution among the broad working masses of all the warring nations (Germany, Italy, Hungary, France and so on). However, the treaty prevented further needless loss of life, and gave the young Soviet Republic the possibility of shifting its attention to urgent domestic matters instead of having to worry about the immediate invasion of the imperialist armies. www.marxist.com /Asia/philippines_brestlitovsk.html   (2952 words)
