Russo-Soviet War

The Russo-Soviet War (1917-1922) followed the Russian Revolution, when the Bolshevik government faced opposition from various forces, including monarchists, nationalists, and foreign armies. This conflict arose as these groups aimed to overthrow the Bolshevik regime, resulting in a civil war. The Red Army, supporting the Bolsheviks, fought against the White Army and other factions. The war was marked by political upheaval and violence, leading to widespread suffering. Ultimately, the Bolsheviks emerged victorious, establishing the Soviet Union, consolidating power, and shaping the future of Russia and its political landscape for decades to come.
