What was the impact of the Russian Revolution on WWI?

Question

If you've noticed me asking a bunch of WWI Q's, I'm studying for a test ;-). I also find history fascinating.

Answer 1

Good ! Me too.

Well, Lenin made peace with Germany. The allies were fighting against that because it would allow many more German soldiers to be moved to the Western front.

But Lenin had too many problems within Russia to be dealing with the war as well. Besides, he was not interested in that type of war

Answer 2

The Russian Revolution of 1917 broke Russia's strength in World War I.

It was the "Eastern" front of World War I and was the reason why France and England wasn't under German control.


Russia was losing, but still had an immense number of people and continued to hold out.

However, when the Russian Revolution occured, it was literally an attack from inside and outside. The Russian Tsar couldn't hold on to his position and met a grim fate.

When the Russian's then came under Communist control, they made peace witih Germany and went about with their own business.

World War I then became a frantic scramble for the remaining Allies to somehow make a cohesive defense as Germany was pulling all of it's troops from Russia and nearby regions and sending them to France for a "final push".

Answer 3

The Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 brought Russian out of WW1. This was huge because Germany had been fighting a two front war, having to divide its forces. Now she could solely devote her troops to the western front in an attempt to end the stalemate. Fortunately, the Americans would arrive soon to counterbalance this troop and supply increase.

Answer 4

Lenin and the Bolsheviks concluded a peace treaty at Brest-Livotsk with the Germans which allowed the Germans to switch more troops to the Western front and it probably prolonged the war
