The allies (15 countries including Britain, France, Italy, the United States, and Japan) were concerned about the Bolsheviks winning the Russian Revolution. One of the worries of the Allies was that the Allied supplies which were intended for the Russian units might fall into German hands. The Allies also hoped to prevent Germany from concentrating its forces against the Allies in the West. The Allies had also hoped to eliminate Communism. They also wanted to protect their own wartime and postwar geopolitical and strategic interests in the region.
The Bolsheviks did not seize power during the Russian Civil War. They had already seized governmental power from the Provisional Government in 1917. The civil war is generally figured to have started in 1918. The Bolsheviks managed to retain their power, not seize it, by winning the civil war.
Because no one would expect a bunch of barn animals to be so violent. The Russian revolution was sugar-coated with winning WWI.
There were several "Russian Revolutions", but the furthest reaching was the October Revolution of 1917 (Ten Days That Shook the World), that saw the overthrow of the Tsar, the establishment of the USSR and the creation of a "Socialist Workers State". ANSWER: There were three revolutions in total. The first was in 1905, however, the result of that revolution was simply the creation of the Russian Parliament, the Duma, which had little power. Czar Nicholas II retained his power. The second was in February 1917, (the February Revolution) in which Czar Nicholas was forced to abdicate. Government was taken over by several political factions, the two main ones being the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks. The new government wasn't working very well and the country fell into the third Revolution which was more like a civil war than a revolution. This third Revolution was in October 1917 (the October Revolution). It saw Lenin's Bolsheviks overthrow the government and oust the Mensheviks from any influence they had. Thus the October Revolution is when the present communist regime took power under Lenin. Lenin died in 1924 and Stalin took over. In the year 1917. my point is this does not answer the question
The British were winning at the beginning.
Independence.

The Civil War wiped out all opposition to the Bolshevik rule that was established in the October Revolution. Right after the revolution, the Bolshevik's grip on power was still shaky with even other Marxist organizations opposed to them. By winning the Civil War the Bolsheviks eliminated both political and military opposition to what they were doing and firmly entrenched them in power.
Not to everyone.
First of all, it wasn't Wilson's decision to make. The president doesn't choose America's wars; Congress does. Second, the Russian loss strenthened Germany, meaning Germany would have a better chance of winning and the Allies wouldn't be able to pay America back if they lost.
Trotsky lead the Red Army. So, he could be given most of the credit for winning.
The United States achieved independence.
