I think one reason is because of the "promised land"
At the end of World War 1, the Germans were made to sign the treaty of Versailles. This meant they had to pay a colossal amount of money and lost a lot of land! Hitler was extremely annoyed at this and when he came to power, he promised revenge and started the Second World War.

Vito Orlando was an Italian leader during World War 1. He was responsible for Italy leaving the triple alliance in 1915 after Italy did not get the land it was promised by Germany.
Remain out of war.
The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, promised "peace, land, and bread" during the Russian Revolution of 1917. This slogan appealed to the war-weary soldiers, land-hungry peasants, and the urban working class, addressing their pressing needs amidst the chaos of World War I and social unrest. The promise played a crucial role in garnering support for the Bolshevik movement, ultimately leading to their rise to power.

Lenin and his Bolshevik supporters promised these to the Russian people. They meant an end to Russia's involvement in World War I, a redistribution of land to the peasant farmers and an end to food shortages cause by the inept governing of the Tsar.
