Czar Nicholas II's refusal to withdraw from World War I

The West, including the United States, Britain, and France, became involved in the Russian Civil War due to political interests. At the time, many Russians were angry over the Brest-Litovsk treaty that handed over Russia's Baltic States, Belarus, and the Ukraine to the Germans. In the eyes of these people, the Bolsheviks were traitors, thinking they sold Russia to the Germans (after all, German agents had approached Lenin during World War I paying him to print anti-Russian propaganda). The British, French, and Americans (the West) felt the same way about this and backed the anti-Bolsheviks, who were not a unified army, but rather a conglomeration of armies bent on gaining power in Russia. The West also did not want Communism to spread, which began a sort of pre-cursor to the Cold War before the breaking of agreements that occurred at the Yalta Conference between Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill and Roosevelt (here, they agreed to allow free election to be established in former Nazi occupied territories).

The Czarina at the time of the Russian Revalution was Alexadra. Alexandra was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Because of this relationship at the time of the Revolution she had cousins on the throne of Germany, Romania, Spain, England, Norway and Greece.

Working conditions in factories and on agricultural estates were harsh, with long hours, low wages, and little to no protection for workers. This exploitation contributed to peasant unrest before the Russian Revolution by fueling grievances over economic inequality, poverty, and lack of basic rights for workers. These conditions, coupled with growing discontent towards the autocratic Tsarist regime, created a fertile ground for revolutionary sentiments to take hold.

The Russian Revolution of 1917 led to the overthrow of the Tsarist autocracy and the establishment of a communist government under the Bolsheviks, fundamentally transforming the political landscape of Russia. It resulted in the withdrawal from World War I, the nationalization of industry, and significant land reforms that aimed to redistribute wealth. However, the revolution also sparked a brutal civil war, economic turmoil, and widespread repression, ultimately leading to the creation of the Soviet Union. This revolution had lasting impacts, shaping Russia’s political ideology and its role on the global stage for much of the 20th century.

The Russian transitional zone, often referred to as the "Near Abroad," exhibits several key characteristics. It serves as a buffer between Russia and Western Europe, featuring a mix of cultural, linguistic, and political influences that reflect both Slavic and non-Slavic traditions. Economically, the region is marked by a reliance on natural resources, particularly energy, while facing challenges such as political instability and varying degrees of integration with Russia. Additionally, it presents a complex geopolitical landscape, influenced by historical ties and contemporary conflicts.

At the beginning of the Russian Revolution in 1917, Tsar Nicholas II was the reigning monarch. His reign faced significant challenges, including military defeats and widespread social unrest, which ultimately led to the abdication of the throne in March 1917. This marked the end of over three centuries of Romanov rule in Russia.

Because he had no other choice but to fight back

The communists, or Bolsheviks, won the Russian Civil War due to their strong leadership under figures like Lenin and Trotsky, effective organization through the Red Army, and the ability to galvanize support among the peasantry and workers. They capitalized on the disunity and lack of a cohesive strategy among the various anti-Bolshevik factions (the Whites). Additionally, the Bolsheviks implemented policies such as war communism, which helped them maintain control over resources and sustain their military efforts. Their ability to portray themselves as the defenders of the revolution also helped consolidate their power.

The Russian Revolution did not lead to World War 1, as the Bolshevik Revolution took place in 1917, 3 years into the war.
