Notes de l'éditeur
Also, Russia had already lost territory to Germany when Brest-Litovsk was signed, but Germany had not yet lost territory to France/Britain before Versailles. Russians were expecting to lose territory, population, etc, but Germans were not expecting it. Russia was a much bigger country with multiple ethnic groups in its border, but Germany was a smaller country of primarily Germans
