How did the russian revolution influence the world to fight for socialism?
Answers
facts, that Marxism was used by Germans as a weapon against Russia, during WWI. The goal was to implement Socialism there, to destroy Russia from inside (by disorganizing it severely), in order to force it to leave the war and close the Eastern front for Germany (who was fighting on two fronts).
The plan worked, as we know (the Russians left war in 1917, to a claimed “unconditional”, Marxistic “peace”, with soldiers even murdering their own officers and deserting the Army in thousands).
The main consequence was the apparition of the Soviet “Empire of Evil” in the East, in a perfect parallel with Hitler’s Germany. The overall results were incredible political pressure, disintegration and long-term destruction for many small countries in Eastern Europe (that suddenly found themselves surrounded by two aggresive empires) - small countries that were perfectly connected to Western Europe up to that moment, such as Czechoslovakia, Romania, Poland, Greece, etc.
