The Bolsheviks' victory in the Russian Civil War can be attributed to several key factors. They had a well-organized and disciplined Red Army, led by Leon Trotsky, which effectively mobilized support and resources. Additionally, the Bolsheviks capitalized on widespread discontent with the existing political and social order, promising land reforms and peace. Their ability to maintain centralized control, Propaganda efforts, and the disunity among their opponents, including the White Army, further solidified their success.

Why was Nicholas II arrested in 1917 during the Russian revolution?
When the February Revolution broke out it was clear that Nicholas II had lost control of the country and could not stop the revolution that was beginning. He was convinced he had to abdicate in order to preserve order. The new Provisional Government took him into custody to assure that he would not be able to take back the throne he had just given up or that no one else could put him back on it. The plan had been to send him in exile to England; but the Bolsheviks staged their coup in the October Revolution and toppled the Provisional Government. The Bolsheviks then took Nicholas into their custody and quickly decided it would not be a good idea to allow the former Tsar to live in exile in another country where he might gain support for restoration. When the Russian Civil War broke out it was clear to the Bolsheviks that some of the forces fighting against them would try to put Nicholas back on the throne, so the Bolsheviks murdered him and his whole family in July 1918.
What roles did Lenin play in the Russian Revolution?
Lenin was the mastermind behind the October Revolution. He was put into exile in early 1917, but the Germans thought he would subvert the morale of the Russian Army, so they sent him on a train to Petrograd. From there he organized the group known as the Bolsheviks. He made sure that Bolsheviks were organising in the army and navy and in the large factories across the empire. He also began plotting for the provisional government's downfall. He attempted to put his plan in action in July 1917, but it failed, and he fled to Finland. But the provisional government needed his Bolsheviks in order to help quell a Tsarist mutiny in the army, and soon he was able to return. During the events of the October Revolution he directed the activities from the Bolshevik headquarters at the Smolny Institute. Had Lenin not been in Russia, it is highly unlikely that the Bolsheviks would have begun the October Revolution.

Did Lenin favor or oppose war communism?
Lenin favored it, because he instituted it right after the October Revolution. War communism did not impose full socialism or communism on all aspects of Russia's economy. The Bolsheviks were simply too weak in numbers to immediately govern the entire economy of Russia with its millions of peasant farmers. Nor were they able to take full control of all the factories and other industry in the country. When the Russian Civil War broke out, the Bolsheviks were even less able to handle the economic demands of fighting the war. For this reason, war communism was instituted by Lenin in order to enable the Bolsheviks to survive the Civil War in power. War communism was later scrapped in favor of Lenin's New Economic Policy.
How did the Bolshevik revolution lead to civil war in Russia?
The Russian Civil War broke out because many Russians never favored the rule of the Bolsheviks under Lenin. The Bolshevik Revolution was a military coup rather than a popular revolution. The Bolshevik Party was a minority party even among the other revolutionary parties such as the Social Revolutionaries, Mensheviks, Constitutional Democrats and others. Not only was it a minority party, but its policies were actively disliked by many if not most of the people in the country. The Bolshevik takeover was tolerated because it was felt that a temporary communist government would be better than the conservative Provisional Government. They also felt that the Bolsheviks would never be able to retain control of the government since they would be voted out of power once the proposed democratically elected Constituent Assembly instituted a proper form of government. Then the Bolsheviks refused to permit the Constituent Assembly to sit, arrested most of the members of the other political parties and suppressed all opposition to their rule. Many Russians, including Russian army commanders were either completely opposed to Bolshevik rule or so disillusioned by the repressive tactics of the Bolsheviks that they became determined to oust the Bolsheviks from power by force. This became the Russian Civil War.
