The main cause of the Russian Civil War was the previous Russian Revolution. The Russian Revolution was caused by poor treatment of the peasants and factory workers under the rule of Tsar Nicholas II. These poor conditions created two revolutions, one in February and one in October, named after their respective months. When the new government, called the Provisional government, threw out democratic rule and opted for a Dictatorship of the proletariot, the Russian Civil War ensued.
