Russian Civil War - Reds vs Whites

The Russian Civil war lasted about two years. It was a battle between the Red vs the Whites. Tovosky, the leader of the Red team (The Bolsheviks) and Kolchak, was the general of the whites. The whites represented the anti-Bolshevik supporters of the former Tsarist government, landowners and generals. Whites were getting help from other countries, an International Intervention. France, Britain, USA, and Japan, were sending volunteers to help beat out the Bolsheviks. Tovoskys army was much more organized and prepared. They formed a secret police called Checha. The Checha would go into the country side and kill anyone who they believed were supporting the whites. Many Russians were killed. A Communism war began as Red army took control of supplies. They banned private trade, took all the food for the soldiers - government run factories, industry and food distribution. This caused Russia's population to decrease even more. With 2 years of bad crops a huge famine broke out. The war ended and the Reds had won. In 1922 Russia signed the Treaty Rapallo, secret Russian German agreement that allowed Germany to rearm against the Treaty of Versailles. In 1941, Russia was re-named, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The government was communist with elected Soviets.
