In March 1918, the Bolsheviks made a treaty with which country to leave the war?

Correct answer: Germany

The correct answer is Germany, because the Bolshevik government signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany in March 1918. This treaty ended Russia’s participation in the First World War, although Russia had to accept severe territorial losses. The decision reflected the Bolshevik promise of peace and their need to concentrate on internal political and military problems. Japan and France were not the countries with which this withdrawal treaty was concluded, while India was then under British colonial rule and was not an independent participant in such negotiations. Thus, option A correctly links Germany with Russia’s exit from the war.
