Answer:
1)When Bolsheviks ordered land distribution, theRussian army began to break up. Their leaders moved to South Russia and organised troops to fight the Bolsheviks. These troops and Bolsheviks fought a civil war; and looting, banditry and famine became common and due to this and Russian war was becoming very unpopular and political unrest made way for the Bolshevik to gain more support from the people. many comman soldiers from the Russian imperial army mutinied or deserted.
2) The Allies, the tsarists, and the Mensheviks.
3)The goals of these small-scale interventions were partly to stop Germany from exploiting Russian resources, to defeat the Central Powers, and to support some of the Allied forces that had become trapped within Russia after the Bolshevik revolution and to protect Japanese, American, british and french intrest in the area
