Russian Civil War 1919-21
The Bolsheviks were the red army, all opposing countries were the white army. The whites were mainly Tsarist officers, Cossacks, Bourgeoisie, outlawed political groups, and international community. Whites won the early wars in 1918, but then the tables turned due to Leon Trotsky. The red army were more organized and central. The reds controlled the industry and and had the majority of the population, as the reds were the lower class people. The whites were the upper class people and generally peasants were neutral.
