In 1917 the German Government agreed to facilitate the return of Bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Lenin to Russia, in the hope he would overthrow the new Provisional Government and remove the Eastern Front from the war. This video aims to be a documentary looking at Imperial Germany-Soviet Relations between 1917 and 1918. From the "Sealed Train" decision, Berlin's support for Bolshevik operations, the Brest-Litovsk negotiations, and the subsequent divide in the German Government about whether to overthrow the Bolsheviks or maintain them in power. 0:00 Introduction 1:01 Exploiting a Revolution 5:34 Lenin & the Sealed Train 13:13 Lenin & German Support 19:50 Reichstag's Peace Resolution 23:56 Germany Ascendent 27:33 Brest-Litovsk 1:08:22 New Strategies 1:13:25 Ukrainian Chaos 1:16:08 Bolshevik Dilemma 1:17:22 OHL vs the Foreign Ministry #GermanEmpire #worldwar1 #sovietunion
