"The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (also known as the Treaty of Brest in Russia) was a separate peace treaty signed on March 3, 1918, between the new Bolshevik government of Russia and the Central Powers (German Empire, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire), that ended Russia´s participation in World War I. The treaty was signed at German-controlled Brest-Litovsk (Polish: Brześć Litewski; since 1945, Brest, now in modern Belarus), after two months of negotiations. The treaty was agreed upon by the Russians to stop further invasion. As a result of the treaty, Soviet Russia defaulted on all of Imperial Russia´s commitments to the Allies and eleven nations became independent in eastern Europe and western Asia. Under the treaty Russia lost nearly all of the Ukraine, and the three Baltic Republics were ceded to Germany. However, it was never recognized by the Western Powers, and never taught in public schools." - (en.wikipedia.org 29.01.2022)
