The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, signed on 3 March 1918, marked the withdrawal of Soviet Russia from World War I through a separate peace agreement with the Central Powers. This treaty followed months of negotiations after an armistice was declared on the Eastern Front in December 1917 and significantly reshaped the political landscape in Eastern Europe. Its implications included the loss of vast territories for Russia and the establishment of new states, influencing future geopolitical dynamics.
