however, the germans did not care. they signed a treaty with independent ukraine in which the rada brought in the troops to expel the bolsheviks. it did not work terribly well for the germans. they turned out to be incapable of governing the ukraine as trotsky had intuitively known. the germans ended up going the other direction and ended up appointing a dictator who happen to be not just a tasrist empire of a descendent -- initially, they embrace some determination. they allowed the baltic states self determinations. they could all become independent german satellites. in this way they actually detached most of the provinces of european russia from the russian empire. their terms were so onerous, the bolsheviks did not want to sign them. despite the rumor that they were just acting as german agents, things got so tense tween them that the germans began bombing petrograd to get the bolsheviks to sign. a little-known episode -- it was for this reason that the bolsheviks moved the capital for petrograd to moscow to the k
