Thinking two steps ahead. How Soviet power overcame the West.
On November 13, 1918, only half a year after the signing, the government of the Soviet Union canceled the ill-fated Treaty of Brest. The humiliating document for Russia was imposed on her in March 1918 - then the army, destroyed by Decree No. 1 of the bourgeois Provisional Government, still could not hold back, and conflicts between the Bolsheviks and the Left SRs complicated the process of signing the final document.
However, this peace was temporary from the start. The Soviet power saw this as a delay either before the revolutionary explosion that was brewing in Germany, or before the critical weakening of the Austro-German bloc in the war. No one was going to give the lands of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus to the Germans. As soon as revolutionary unrest began in Germany in November 1918, the indecent peace was immediately denounced, and the native lands were soon returned. All the more so since at that time the Red Army of Workers and Peasants had already been formed and was preparing to defend the achievements of Red October.
