EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "John Bull Put Out: The Brest-Litovsk Treaty and the End of Russia's Participation in World War One" This evocative political cartoon, published in March 1918, captures the international significance of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, which marked the end of Russia's involvement in World War One. The treaty, signed on March 3, 1918, between Russia and Germany, brought an end to the Eastern Front and allowed Germany to focus its military efforts on the Western Front against the Allied Powers. In this cartoon, the symbolic figure of John Bull, a personification of England, stands dismayed and put out as he watches Russia, represented by a weak and disheveled figure, signing the treaty with Germany. The olive branch in John Bull's hand symbolizes his desire for peace, while the broken sword at his feet represents the end of the war on the Eastern Front. The caption reads, "Brest-Litovsk: Peace at Any Price!" The Brest-Litovsk Treaty was a turning point in World War One, as it allowed Germany to make significant territorial gains in the east and weakened the Russian military and economy. The treaty also had far-reaching consequences for the Russian Revolution, as the Bolsheviks, who came to power later that year, repudiated the treaty and sought to renegotiate Russia's international obligations. This historical cartoon provides a visual representation of the complex geopolitical landscape of World War One and the profound impact of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty on the course of the war and the subsequent history of Europe.
