The Russian Civil War 1917-1922

    From 1917-1922 an incredible bloodletting took place as the former Tsarist Imperial Russian Empire broke apart and the new countries of Poland, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and the USSR were left to rise from its ashes. Reds vs Whites with Cossacks, mercenaries, anarchist peasant armies, Tsarist remnants and foreign interventionists thrown in and mixed together formed one of the strangest and most interesting periods in modern military history.
