Why was it hard for Germany to send Lenin back to Russia?
Germany sent Lenin back to Russia hoping that he would foment further revolutionary activity in Russia so that Russia would withdraw from fighting Germany in World War I. The February Revolution of 1917 had already taken place while Lenin was in Switzerland. Despite this revolution overthrowing the Tsar, the Provisional Government acting in place of the Tsar was still committed to fighting Germany in the war. The Germans knew that most Russians wanted to end their involvement in the war, so the German High Command sent Lenin back to Russia hoping he would destabilize the government and disrupt the army and perhaps even lead another rebellion. Germany even funded Lenin and his Bolshevik Party to some degree. Lenin led the October Bolshevik Revolution, ousted the pro-war Provisional Government and entered into the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with the Central Powers ending Russia's involvement in the war. Germany got what it wanted: an end to the war on the Russian front and the ability to move many divisions of soldiers to fight the French, British and Americans on the western front.
What was the purpose of the invasion of Italy?
Answer The Allies invaded Italy so they could continue to advance against the Nazi alliance and end the war sooner. Russia was fighting to hold back the German invasion of their country. The Allies promised to help Russia and the only way that they could was to continue to fight Germany where they could and prevent Germany from sending more troops into Russia. Italy was the only place that the Allies could attack and support the operation.
How did European and individuals help the United States win independence?

How did the French people view the Treaty of Versailles?
The French thought the Treaty of Versailles wasn't being hard enough on the Germans. The Germans had caused the death of 2 million French and France wanted 'revenge' on Germany. France wanted Germany to pay full reparations to France and if Germany resisted France would send in their army to force Germany to 'pay up', which they ultimately did.
