The Initial German Invasion

In August 1914, Germany launched a massive invasion of Russia. The German army quickly overwhelmed the Russian forces and advanced deep into Russian territory. By the end of 1914, the Germans had captured Warsaw and were threatening Petrograd, the Russian capital.

The German invasion was a major shock to the Russian government and military. The Russians had not expected such a rapid and decisive advance by the Germans. The invasion also caused a massive refugee crisis, as millions of Russians fled their homes to escape the fighting.

The Russian Revolution

In March 1917, the Russian Revolution broke out. The revolution was led by the Bolsheviks, a radical socialist party. The Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian government and established a new regime.

The Russian Revolution had a profound impact on the war on the Eastern Front. The new Bolshevik government was determined to withdraw Russia from the war. The Bolsheviks signed a peace treaty with the Central Powers in March 1918.

The End of the War

The Russian Revolution and the subsequent peace treaty between Russia and the Central Powers led to the end of the war on the Eastern Front. The Central Powers had achieved their objectives of defeating Russia and gaining control of Eastern Europe.
