One of the main reasons Russia's borders changed was because of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, This treaty forced Russia to surrender vast amounts of territory to the German Empire. Russia was one of the biggest losers in loss of land because they lost about 1 million square miles of land which was one of the most out of all the other countries in the war.

Before the war, Russia was a poor country with peasants making up 85% of the total population. Russia's people before the war contributed very little towards its economy. After the war, Russia was still under-industrialized compared to the more "Western Nations", but World War 1 attempted to bring on some extreme changes. They tried to become more socially equal and they even attempted a socialist economy, but almost all of this failed. This resulted in large economic crisis, long-term international isolation, and the impoverishment of the society, along with almost 12 billion rubles of post-war debt. Russia's economy after the war still struggled greatly and these economic issues would continue to occur for many years even after World War 1.

Russia's society before WW1 was already bad with serfdom and illiteracy. And after WW1 the problems were just made worse because now over 85% of Russia's population was still peasants with the same problems and they were socially dissatisfied because they were very mad about the little improvement for their country. Also after WW1 the Russian government was now fighting against a revolution from Vladimir Lenin, who turned into the head of Soviet Russia, because the social classes of Russia were outraged and they were with the new social movement of the Bolshevik party. Another negative change to Russia socially would be that WW1 had lead up to social discontent because of the realization of the need for change in the country. One more of the effects of WW1 was that it caused waves of social movements, it happened in Russia with the Bolshevik party. The Social changes in Russia because of WW1 were all negative and eventually lead up to the Russian Revolution too.

Prior and during most of WWI, Russia had a czar & absolute monarch named Nicholas II. During the start of the war, Russia began fighting on it's western front, against the German Empire. The Russians were allied with the allied forces including G.B and U.S. Russia entered the war with the largest standing army, with over 1,400,000 troops, which eventually grew to almost 5 million troops. The Russians attacked their adversary's at the battle of Tannenberg. After several months of fighting, the Russian government started to collapse. Several protests lead to revolution, changing the government to the hands of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was a group of far left Marxist/communist, which became the first communist country to gain great would power. They eventually allied themselves with country's such as East Germany, Hungary, and Poland. This may have been great for the political leaders and supporters of the Soviet Union, but for the opposition of the Union, the government was unpleasant, and in some instances the government sent a secret police (red terror) force after opposition leaders and supporters. All political effects of the war were obvious losses for the Russian people.
