📅 3 March 1918 📍

The Bolshevik government signed a harsh peace treaty with the Central Powers, ceding or relinquishing extensive western territories and populations. The treaty fulfilled the promise to end Russia’s participation in the war but exposed borderland communities to new occupations and political arrangements. The treaty was annulled after Germany’s defeat in November 1918.
