摘要

The paper aims to shed light on the initial situation of the Russian, Habsburg, and Ottoman Empires at the end of the First World War and discusses the development of the Peace Treaties of Brest-Litovsk, St. Germain, and Sèvres. It analyzes and compares the provisions of all three peace treaties in question and tries to put them in context. As the German Reich and the Treaty of Versailles have already been the subject of numerous academic studies, the paper deliberately focuses on the three before-mentioned Peace Treaties, which all played a key role in the decline of multi-ethnic empires.
