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.

In Russia by what name were the Bolsheviks known?
In Russian, the term 'Bolshevik' means 'majority men', who were in favour of a Communist Revolution lead by the Proletariat. There were also the Mensheviks, or 'minority men', who wanted a Socialist Revolution led by the Middle Classes- in effect, replacing one set of bosses with another set of bosses, who would have governed the country on the basis of inequality of education and academic elitism as oppose to inequality of wealth. Those in favour of a Proletarian revolution were in the majority, hence the term 'Bolshevik'.
