                       War I caused, even in its course, the Russian Revolution -
                       a multipolar revolution that ultimately ended with the
                       Bolsheviks' takeover of power and Russia's departure from
                       the Great War after the signing of the Brest-Litovsk treaty
                       in 1918. Russia's abandonment of the conflict led to high
                       expectations of victory in the Central Powers, which did
                       nothing but aggravate the impact of the final defeat,
                       reaching the point of not accepting such defeat and giving
                       place to the emergence of the myth of the «backstab». On
                       the other hand, the end of the war triggered the
                       disintegration of the Central Powers and the construction
                       of new nation-states built under the idea of ethnic
                       homogeneity. The expansion of bolshevism, the exacerbated
                       nationalism, the non-acceptance of defeat, the
                       paramilitarism and the purported ethnic homogeneity as a
                       hallmark of the new states made central and Eastern Europe
                       a hotbed of violence that continued to prolong the one
                       experienced during the Great War until 1923.",
