> The Russian Empire suffered losses during WWI but survived as the Soviet Union. I think you would find it interesting to read about the peace treaty of Brest-Litovsk, where the Russians lost about as much as they've "lost" now. Hadn't it been for the other Entente powers after the war, it would have been a done deal already then.
