This map shows the Eastern Front, with the German military line on March 15, 1918, the German, Austrian, Turkish, and Bulgarian territories, the territory ceded to Germany by Russia (Courland, Lithuania, Poland, Bessarabia, and territory near Ardahan on the Black Sea), the territory evacuated and abandoned by Russia for "self–determination," (Finland, Esthonia, Livonia, and Ukraine), the territory occupied by Germany which Germany promised to evacuate (White Russia west of the German front), and the Russian provinces which claimed independence and defied the Bolsheviks (Cossacks, Caucasus, and Turkestan). The map shows important cities, main railways, rivers, and large bodies of water.
