Vladamir Lenin was clearly disappointed that World War 1 did not produce a workers' revolution in an economically advanced nation like Great Britain. And, the fact that in January of 1918, Germany was able to press him into signing the hated Brest-Litovsk Treaty, was costly for Russia. On the other hand, the imperialism of the Great Powers, had centralized their economic power more in the hands of the state as never before seen. Lenin took the position that monopoly capitalism made it easier for revolutionaries to expropriate the means of production. Instead of a scattered control of economies, the world powers, due to the necessities of the war, created an easier path for workers to control the means of production.
