Ejército Rojo

Ejército Rojo, or the Red Army, was the military force established by the Bolsheviks during Russia's 1917 Revolution. It played a central role in defending Soviet power during the Russian Civil War and later became the Soviet Union's primary land army. Known for its large size, discipline, and ideological commitment, it fought against various internal and external enemies to defend communist governance. Over time, the Red Army modernized and expanded, becoming a powerful military force during World War II, contributing significantly to Soviet victories and shaping global military history.
