Was the french humilated in the 7 years war?
While the first few years of war proved successful for the French, in 1759 the situation dramatically reversed and they suffered defeats on several continents. In an effort to reverse their losses, France concluded an alliance with their neighbours Spain in 1761. In spite of this the French continued to suffer defeats throughout 1762 eventually forcing them to sue for peace. The 1763 Treaty of Paris confirmed the loss of French possessions in North America and Asia to the British. France also finished the war with very heavy debts, which they struggled to repay for the remainder of the eighteenth century.

Why did Russia sue Germany in 1917?
Do you mean, "sue for peace"? That phrase just means to try to get a peace treaty. They were undergoing a revolution, the country was in tatters, the people were fed up, the communists were against the war, and enough was enough. The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was badly against the Russian interests, losing 1/3rd of their European territory but they gambled that Germany would soon lose the war anyway, and the treaty would be voided.
