During World War I, Russia's involvement was important to her Allies for primarily one reason. By remaining true to the Triple Alliance, Russia posed a threat to Germany (and the Austro-Hungarian Empire) from the East. This threat prevented Germany from dedicating all of its forces to the Western Front and thereby gave the Allies an advantage -- or at least balanced the odds for victory more favorably.

ProfessorGermany was in between France and Russia and had to divided its military forces to fight on both sides at the same time. Once Russia got out of the war, Germany shifted all the troops fighting against Russia to the other side of the country adding those forces to the ones already there. This made it much more difficult for the Allies to win the war.
