Batoum and other districts in Trans-caucasia were surrendered to Turkey. Anindemnity variously estimated at from $1,-500,000,000 to $4,000,000,000 was exacted.This treaty robbed Russia of four per centof her total area, 26 per cent of her popula-tion, 27 per cent of her agricultural landnormally cultivated, 26 per cent of her rail-ways and 75 per cent of her coal and ironresources. The withdrawal of Russia forced Rou-mania out. Since she had been crushed byvon Mackensen and von Falkenheyn, slichad not been a considerable factor in tlicwar. But absolutely without support, sliowas forced to sign an ignominious peace onMarch 4th, based on the terms of Brest-Litovsk. This also made possible the au-tonomy of Besserabia, of course, accordingto German plan, to be under control ofBerlin. 138 THE PEOPLES WAR BOOK
