As the war dragged on, revolutions took place throughout Europe. Trotsky, unable to negotiate an acceptable treaty with the Germans, tried simply to declare the war over for Russia. In November 1918, warring countries simply signed with the nearest available allies. In the end, the armistice did not define or resolve the war aims either; instead, everything was left to the peace treaty. Narrated by A.J.P. Taylor.
