The beginning of the war.
After the great war the biggest war was the Russian civil war.At the start of the war the bolsevhiks managed to push down the rebellion but in 1918 the civil war started with new strengh.In a lot of places where so called "white" goverments.The goal of the whites where to restore the old russia.
Decisive year 1919.
The violence of the reds and not working land policys brought a new momentum to the whites.With the help of the Estonians Nikolai Judenits tried to conqour Petrograd but they didnt sucseed.In 1919 they where beaten alot but somehow they still managed to win the war.
Why the whites lost?
Firts of all they didnt want that Estonia,Latvia etc got their independce, but the reds accepted it.In the 2.veb 1920
Red russia and Estonia signed a peave treaty followed by Latvia,Lithuania,Finland
They werent really organized thanks to that the reds could one of the time destroy their armies.
The reds could use their resousres to the maximum.The reds controlled the indrustrial areas and importent railway stations.
