The Russian Civil War emerged from the chaos following World War I and the Russian Revolution. Key causes included:
Vocabulary: The term "Whites" refers to the diverse anti-Bolshevik forces, including former Tsarists, liberals, and moderate socialists.
The conflict officially began in spring 1918, though some skirmishes occurred earlier. Opposition to the Bolsheviks came from peasants, workers, middle classes, army officers, and various political factions.
Example: The Czech Legion, a force of 40,000 Czechoslovak troops, played a significant role in sparking the conflict.
The Russian Civil War primarily involved two main factions:
Definition: The term "Reds" refers to the Bolshevik forces, named after the color associated with communism.
The Whites were geographically dispersed and often lacked coordination, which proved to be a significant disadvantage.
Quote: "The Whites were united only in their anti-Bolshevik attitude but deeply divided elsewhere and frequently fought one another."
The Russian Civil War timeline includes several crucial battles and events:
Highlight: The murder of Tsar Nicholas II and his family in July 1918 was a significant event that galvanized opposition to the Bolsheviks.
The Reds gradually gained the upper hand, pushing back White forces on multiple fronts. Trotsky's leadership of the Red Army was crucial in achieving these victories.
Several key factors explain who won the Russian Civil War and why the Bolsheviks emerged victorious:
Example: Trotsky's reforms included reintroducing military ranks, saluting, and pay differences to improve discipline and effectiveness.
The policy of "War Communism" also played a role, allowing the Bolsheviks to mobilize resources effectively, though at a great cost to the population.
Vocabulary: "War Communism" refers to the extreme economic measures implemented by the Bolsheviks during the civil war, including nationalization of industry and forced grain requisitioning.
The Russian Civil War ended in 1921 with the Bolsheviks in control of most of the former Russian Empire. The conflict had profound consequences:
Highlight: The Russian Civil War was one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 20th century, with an estimated 7-12 million deaths.
The Bolshevik victory set the stage for the creation of the Soviet Union and had far-reaching implications for global politics throughout the 20th century.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7.
