5: The Treaty of Brest Litovsk 1917-1918 by HUGH SETON-WATSON
Professor of Russian History, London University
During the course of the First World War, the only attempt at a separate peace which achieved a positive result was the negotiation between the Bolshevik Government and the Central Powers. which resulted in the Treaty of Brest Litovsk early in 1918. In the fifth of this series Professor Seton-Watson considers the course of the negotiation and its meaning, not only to the Allies and the defeated Russians but to the Germans who showed in their characteristically over-reaching diplomacy why a general settlement was impossible before the collapse of the Imperial regime.
