Intervention in the Russian Civil War

During the Russian Civil War (1917-1923), several countries, including Britain, France, Japan, and the United States, intervened by providing military support, supplies, and troops to oppose the Bolshevik government. Their goal was to influence the outcome, protect their interests, and prevent the spread of communism. Ultimately, these interventions aimed to support anti-Bolshevik forces or secure strategic positions but failed to change the war’s direction. The intervention was complex, involving limited engagement and mixed motivations, and contributed to the broader conflict's intensity but did not prevent the Bolshevik consolidation of power.
