The End of the Great War
A Century of War and Peace
The First World War was a global conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918. It involved all of the great powers of the time, including Russia, Germany, France, Britain, and the United States. The war resulted in the deaths of millions of people and the collapse of several empires, including the Russian Empire.
The Russian Revolution
In 1917, the Russian Revolution overthrew the Tsarist government and established a new communist government. The new government led by Vladimir Lenin, signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany, which ended Russia's participation in the war. The treaty was a major victory for Germany, as it allowed them to shift their forces to the Western Front.
The End of the War
The First World War ended on November 11, 1918, with the signing of the Armistice of Compiegne. The war had lasted for four long years and had resulted in the deaths of millions of people. The war had also caused widespread devastation across Europe. The end of the war was a major turning point in history, and marked the beginning of a new era of peace.
