episode Brest-Litovsk: Russia’s Greatest Defeat. cover

Brest-Litovsk: Russia’s Greatest Defeat.

In this episode, we examine the controversial Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, the 1918 agreement that forced Bolshevik Russia out of World War I at a staggering cost. Facing military collapse, political turmoil, and the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, Vladimir Lenin’s government accepted terms that stripped Russia of vast territories, millions of people, and critical economic resources. Why did the Bolsheviks agree to such harsh conditions? How did Germany gain so much from the treaty? And why do some historians argue that Brest-Litovsk was even more severe than the later Treaty of Versailles? Join us as we uncover the dramatic negotiations, the geopolitical consequences, and the role this treaty played in reshaping Europe during the final year of World War I. Discover the story of one of history’s most punishing peace agreements—and why its impact is still debated today. Share, follow, and leave a review to support the podcast. Thanks for listening!
