Question

Which of the following was a direct impact of Lenin signing a treaty with Germany that surrendered territory and withdrew Russia from the war?

A. It created obstacles for Germany

B. It reinforced Russia’s alliance with Allies

C. It allowed Germany to transfer troops to France

D. It’s mandated that Russia pay war debts to the Allies

Answer 1

C. It allowed Germany to transfer troops to France

Think about it- Germany is situated between the powers in the west and Russia to east. Since Germany was fighting both sides, they had to contribute resources to both fronts, therefore fighting a "2 front war". This, of course, is expensive in resources and harder to keep up. WIth the Russian concessions, Russia was no longer fighting Germany; therefore, Germany could move the now unecessary troops from the Russian front to the west.
