What you had, at the end of WWI was an armistice, on Wilson's terms, which the West renigged on after the Germans had accepted it.
Lenin was left in power by the renigging victors, not by the vanquished Germans.
DK's squib below is nonsense.

RE DK CURRENT POST
"...The Germans might well have felt the same way about the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, which they made possible by defeating the Russian Army so thoroughly during the First World War. Not until Hitler, however, did they make an all-out effort to undo that result, and the consequences turned out to be disastrous for Germany....."
Having read Kennan's (onto whom you put me several years ago) two volume account of 19th century diplomacy tending toward WW I, I am less persuaded, that it was mainly, or even primarily, only a German responsibility matter, in either war, than appears above.
