The first major clash between the Western powers and the Soviet Union occurred during the Russian Civil War (1917-1922), when several Western nations, including the United States, Britain, France, and Japan, intervened to support the anti-Bolshevik White forces against the Bolshevik Red Army. This intervention was motivated by fears of the spread of communism and the desire to re-establish an Eastern Front against Germany during World War I. Ultimately, the intervention was largely unsuccessful, and the Bolsheviks consolidated power, leading to heightened tensions that would define much of the 20th century.
