The causes of the war


The most obvious reasons for the outbreak of hostilities are acute political, social and ethnic-ethnic contradictions, which not only survived, but also worsened after the February revolution. The most pressing of them is considered to be the prolonged participation of Russia in the First World War and the unsolved agrarian question.

Many researchers see a direct link between the coming to power of the Bolsheviks and the outbreak of the Civil War, and believe that this was one of their main tasks. The nationalization of production assets, the ruinous for Brest peace of Russia, the aggravation of relations with the peasantry because of the activities of the comrades and food detachments, and the dispersal of the Constituent Assembly-all these actions of the Soviet government, coupled with its desire to retain power and establish its own dictatorship at any cost, could not but cause discontent of the population.

The Civil War took place in 3 stages, differing in the composition

of the participants in the fighting and the intensity of the fighting. October 1917 – November 1918 – the formation of the armed forces of opponents and the formation of major fronts. The White movement actively began to fight the Bolshevik regime, but the intervention of third forces, primarily the Entente and the Quadruple alliance, did not give either side the advantage to decide the outcome of the war.

November 1918 – March 1920. – a stage in which the radical breakthrough of the war has come. The combat actions of the interventionists were reduced, and their troops were withdrawn from the territory of Russia. At the very beginning of the stage, success was on the side of the White movement, but then the Red Army gained control over most of the territory of the state.

March 1920 – October 1922 – the final stage, during which the fighting moved to the border areas of the state and, in fact, did not pose a threat to the Bolshevik government. After October 1922, the struggle was continued only by the Siberian Volunteer Druzhin in Yakutia, commanded by AN Petlyaev, as well as the Cossack detachment under the command of Bologov near Nikolsk-Ussuriisk.
