Treaty+of+Brest-Litovsk

Treaty of Brest-Litovsk The treaty of Brest-Litovsk marked the end of war between Germany and Russia during World War I. Signed March 3, 1918, it granted Germany a great amount of land from Russia (see map).

At the end of the War, neither Germany or Russia kept the land given in the treaty, which was now null in void. Each country gained its independence.

Because Russia accepted the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, the country was purposely kept out of the Treat of Versailles.
