Detailed explanation-1: -The Germans agreed to help Lenin, but they wanted him to convince Russia to leave the war. After much negotiation, an agreement between Lenin and the German Imperial government was finally reached. It was agreed that 32 Russian revolutionaries, including Lenin, would be transported across Germany in a ‘sealed train’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lenin was already a formidable socialist leader but he was exiled from Russia by a tsarist court.
