It is of no denial that the establishment of the Soviet Union is a big thing, after all this is the first communist country in the world. In addition, the Soviet Union made great contributions to the globe, for example sending the first person to space, winning an overall 440 gold medals in the Olympics, and supplying a great number of developing countries with financial and military aid, for example Cuba, Egypt and Ethiopia. However, in 1900s, the Soviet Unions’ foundation also made a huge impact upon the trend of the war, causing an earlier end to the bloody WW1.

Before the revolution of the Russians began, Russia was rule by the Czar Nicholas the Second, who lead the Russians in the fight alongside the Alliance (Britain and France) against the Central Powers (Germany, Austria Hungry, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire). Although indeed Nicholas succeeded in taking part of the German troops in the east lines, he lost massive amounts of man on his own part and lost large amounts of land, the industrialization of Russia isn’t thorough enough, and corruption is normal in the commanders of the army. In addition, a lot of countries would not join the Allied Forces, as they did not want to join forces with a country that is ruled by an Emperor, so the persistence of the Russians in among the Alliances is not necessarily a good thing.

On March the eighth, 1917 the Czar of Russia was overthrown, and a more democratic government was formed. However, the new government did not respect the wish of the people by forcing them to continue fighting in the war. After another dramatic defeat by the Germans, the Russian people allowed a second revolution -- this time by the Bolsheviks to turn the government into a Marxist one. Former Czar Nicholas and his family were than executed by the Bolsheviks.

The Bolsheviks, seeking a chance to free Russia from the burden of the war, met German official in order to discuss details in forming a peace treaty. Finally, in March 1917, the Soviet Union and the German Empire signed the Брест-Лито́вскиймирныйдогово́р (the Brest Peace Treaty) that finally brought the peace that the Russian people long wanted.

Although in the treaty, the Germans agreed not to attack the newly founded Soviet Union, they demanded large amounts of land. When the Soviet ambassadors refused to agree, the Germans launched an attack on the Soviets, called the Spring attacks. In the end, the Soviets agree to the German’s proposal after enormous losses of man and land. The official treaty signed gives the Germans the right to control 3230 thousand square kilometers of land, as well as 90% of the past Russian Empire’s coal production, 56% of the total railroads in Russia, and 80% of mining sites in Russia. The regions that the Germans occupy also contains land in mid-Europe, which is famous for their large amount of food production. Most importantly, the Germans considers the signing of the treaty as a chance to free their man in the Eastern lines and to reinforce their defense on the Western border, especially when another massive country, America decided to join the war on the behalf of the allies. So, generals like the able man Ludenhorff have thought of an attack strategy that may be Germany’s only hope of winning the war -- an attack that they refer to as Kaiserschlacht.

The Kaiserschlacht is a plan to quickly cut through the alliance's trenches and defeat, even demolish the British and French forces of the mainland of Europe. If all according to plan, the Germans might have a chance to use the new tactics created by Ludenhorff and the soldiers that used to fight in the East to win a stunning victory against the Alliance and may even conquer Paris. This will certainly let the alliance consider the possibility of signing a peace treaty with the Germans with Germany in the place as the winner. With the new colonies gain by the treaty, Germany will certainly become a global superpower. On the other hand, however, if Germany failed to get through the trenches of the enemies before America lands, then the main force of the Germans military will be destroyed, and they will have no choice but to surrender. In this scenario, Germany will most likely stop from existing.

Of course, we can all guess the end of Ludenhorff’s plan, the British fought the German Storm Troopers with bravery and valiance. Therefore, the Germans were held off and eventually had to retreat to the trenches near the German-France border, and later surrendered.

The bloody WW1 has come to an end, after Germany’s surrender, the Soviet Union claim to refuse to accept the treaty. The later Wiemar Republic of Germany was too week to fight back and reclaim the lands, only the old pages of the Brest Peace Treaty remember the ambitions, the hopes and the dreams of the former Germany Empire.
