The correct answer is:
d. a treaty that ended hostilities between Russia and the Central powers
The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was signed on March 3, 1918, between Soviet Russia and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire) during World War I. Its main purpose was to end Russia's involvement in the war. Under the treaty, Russia surrendered a significant amount of territory, including Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, and Lithuania, to the Central Powers. This treaty was one of the factors that contributed to the Russian Civil War and the eventual formation of the Soviet Union.
