On the Eastern Front during World War I, Russia initially faced significant challenges, suffering defeats against German and Austro-Hungarian forces. However, they managed to achieve some victories early in the war, particularly during the battles of Tannenberg and the Masurian Lakes. As the war progressed, internal strife, military setbacks, and logistical issues weakened the Russian army, leading to significant territorial losses and eventually contributing to the Russian Revolution in 1917. By the end of the war, Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918, ceding large areas of territory to the Central Powers.
