Detailed explanation-1: -By the terms of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Russia recognized the independence of Ukraine, Georgia and Finland; gave up Poland and the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to Germany and Austria-Hungary; and ceded Kars, Ardahan and Batum to Turkey.
Detailed explanation-2: -With the Soviet regime at risk of capitulation, Bolsheviks negotiators signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk on March 3rd 1918. Lenin got his own way by arguing that any losses – a nation on the “doorstep of socialist revolution” – would be rendered temporary by the advent of socialism in Germany.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Brest-Litovsk and Versailles peace treaties were two sides of the same coin for Germany. Germany imposed the Brest-Litovsk Treaty on the Soviets and then had onerous conditions imposed on them at Versailles. There are remarkable similarities in the two treaties.
