The Russian Civil War and the division between "Whites" and "Reds"

The Russian Civil War that took place from 1917 to 1922 resulted in the division of the country into two opposing factions - the "Whites" and the "Reds". Several key factors led to this split:

After the February Revolution of 1917, Russia became a republic ruled by a provisional government. However, there was still widespread unrest. In October 1917, the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, seized power in the October Revolution. The Bolsheviks (later known as Communists) established the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and withdrew from World War I.

This triggered a civil war, as the new Bolshevik government faced opposition from other socialist and nationalist groups who disagreed with the Bolsheviks' policies like immediate withdrawal from the war. The "Whites" were the loose alliance of anti-Bolshevik forces ranging from monarchists to liberals and ethnic minorities. They opposed the Bolsheviks' policies like land redistribution, nationalization of industry, and the Bolsheviks' goal of spreading worldwide communist revolution.

The "Reds" were the Bolshevik Red Army and their supporters who fought to defend and consolidate the Bolshevik revolution. They portrayed themselves as champions of socialism and workers. The civil war was a bitter struggle between these two opposing political-military factions for control of the government and the future of the country. After several years of fighting, the Red Army ultimately prevailed by 1922 and the Soviet Union was established under Bolshevik rule.
