What caused Leon Trotsky to believe that the Mensheviks were a better socialist party then the Bolsheviks?
Leon Trotsky, being a true Marxist, took on the Menshevik view that a bourgeoisie revolution must replace the Czar. The Bolsheviks disagreed with this. Also, at the time, Trotsky was not in favor of what he saw as a ruthless organization that placed the Bolshevik Party above the workers. He held these views for a long time before changing them.

Was Leon Trotsky the reason why the Bolsheviks won the Russian civil war?
Leon Trotsky was a large reason why they won the civil war, becaue he was the Commissar of War and the one who organized the Red Army into a coherent military force.
