The Reds, or Bolsheviks, defeated the Whites in the Russian Civil War primarily due to their strong centralized leadership under figures like Leon Trotsky, effective use of Propaganda, and the appeal of their revolutionary promises to the working class and peasants. The Whites, a coalition of anti-Bolshevik forces, were often fragmented and lacked a unified strategy, which hindered their effectiveness. Additionally, the Reds benefited from control of key industrial regions and transportation routes, allowing them to mobilize resources and troops more efficiently. The support of the peasantry and the disillusionment with the Whites, who often represented the old elite, further solidified the Reds' position.

In the Russian Civil War (1917-1922), the "Reds" were the Bolshevik forces led by Vladimir Lenin, advocating for a socialist state and the establishment of a communist government. They sought to consolidate power following the October Revolution. The "Whites," on the other hand, comprised a coalition of anti-Bolshevik groups, including monarchists, liberals, and moderate socialists, who aimed to overthrow the Bolshevik regime and restore a more traditional form of governance. This conflict was marked by intense fighting and significant social upheaval, ultimately leading to Bolshevik victory and the establishment of the Soviet Union.
The two sides were referred to as the Red Army (Bolsheviks and their revolutionary supporters) and the White Army ( nonrevolutionaries who either wanted the Tsar restored to the throne or depose Lenin and the Bolsheviks. In addition to the Reds and Whites there were the Greens, who were anarchists.
After the Russian Revolution ousted the Czar, the various factions began to fight among each other. The Bolsheviks (Communists), also known as the Reds, made a play for power opposed by the Whites, Mensheviks (royalists, democrats, republicans, and reactionaries).
As what it sounds to me, the Reds were the Bolshevik faction (Communists) in the Russian Civil War, and the Whites were the people that opposed them (Royalists, Republicans, the Church, etc.)
It was the Russian Civil War which lasted from 1917 to 1922. Supporters of Bolsheviks were Reds and supporters of the Tsar were Whites. At the end Whites lost and Soviet Union was created.
