Answer:
Russia signed the treaty of Brest-Litovsk in order to withdraw from world war i and focus all of its resources in the west.
Explanation:
The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was a peace treaty signed between Russia (already ruled by the Bolsheviks) and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Ottoman Empire). This agreement was signed on March 3, 1918 and made official the withdrawal of Russia from the First World War. It was known for the harsh terms imposed by the Central Powers, which forced Russia to deal with vast territorial losses.
For Russia, the treaty had a hard impact. The Russians lost a considerable part of their territory and population. In addition, they had to relinquish valuable reserves of oil and coal, in addition to all the industrial mesh that existed in the ceded territories. The terms of the treaty were also heavily criticized, and the concessions made by Russia yielded internal criticism.
