Question

What were the main causes of the Civil War between Bolsheviks and the Russian army, the non Bolsheviks socialists?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The causes of Russia's Civil War were the failure of provisional government of Kerensky, the growing power of the soviets, the treaty of Brest-Litovsk angered Russians, and the Bolsheviks wanted to wipe out all their enemies. The outcome was the Bolshevik victory over the Whites and 14,000,000 dead.

Explanation:

The Russian Civil War was to tear Russia apart for three years – between 1918 and 1921. The civil war occurred because after November 1917, many groups had formed that opposed Lenin’s Bolsheviks. These groups included monarchists, militarists, and, for a short time, foreign nations.

What were the effects of the Russian Civil War?

The Russian Civil War suffocated the revolution, destroyed democracy, and cleared the way for Stalinist dictatorship. This was the unintended consequence of the actions of all the belligerents – the Reds, the Whites, and the Great Powers. The consequences of this have ricocheted down the decades to the present day.

Causes of the civil war were:-

1. When Bolsheviks ordered land re distributiion, the Russian army began to break up.
2. Soldiers, mostly peasants, wished to go home for the redistribution and deserted.
3. Non Bolshevik socialists, liberals and supporters of autocracy condemned the Bolshevik uprising.
4. Their leaders moved to South Russia and organised troops to fight of the Bolsheviks.
5. These troops and Bolsheviks fought a civil wear, and looting, banditry and famine became common.
