What land did Russia lose and gain during WWI and WWII?

After the Russian civil war and the coming to power of the Bolsheviks, Russia pulled out of the war (WWI) and lost over 25% of its land (and 33% of its population) to Germany (treaty of Brest-Litovsk). Then Poland attacked Russia to gain territory and although they were repulsed the Polish back to Warsaw (where the Polish won the Battle of Warsaw) the Poles pushed back. Eventually a treaty (the treaty of Riga)was signed giving significant amount of land to Poland.

Lenin let go so much of the land because he believed (correctly as it turned out) that Russia would reacquire the land once its economy and communism had a firm foothold. All this shows the land lost and gained by Russia over the years, the map of 1920 is the one your looking for. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
