Wow, thats a very cool map. Authentic too?
Whats the context though...Russia has lost a lot.
And I love the Breslan micro state..So much explaining needed!
Well, as the date up there shows it's an OTL map drawn in 1919, after the Treaty of Versailles was signed (June) but before the treaties of Trianon and Saint-Germain fixed the things in former Austria-Hungary. As you can expect Russia is a total mess because of the civil war and the cartographer has done his best effort to reflect the situation there whithout going insane. The Straits area in Turkey is provisionally occupied by the British and will continue to do so till the Cannakale crisis in the early 20s.
Back in topic, well, nothing more to say, just that Britain did accept to cede the Straits to Russia once they and the Ottomans were in the war, and that such a clause was approved by Karl I during the negotiations of the Sixtus Affair, even after Nicky II had been overthrown. So a victorious Russia is going to receive it yes or yes.
Another likely seizure is that of Galitzia. Before the war, a lot of young Poles that detested russification went there to study in their language, especially after the revolts of 1905. By taking it Russia makes her position in Poland less vulnerable and weakens the Polish nationalists. Gainings from Germany, however, are going to be minimal.
Over time, though, I think that Britain and France will resent these concessions, and they will be the main reason for the break up of the Entente.
