Why was there a Russian civil war?
The 1917 Bolshevik Revolution was the communists over throwing the Tsarist government. --Edit Well, firstly, the answer above is relevent, but not the answer to the question asked. When the October Revolution in Russia came about in 1917, there were lots of other political groups in Russia besides the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, felt that they alone deserved to rule Russia, and didn't believe in a coalition government. Originally, Lenin had a Constituent Assembly, but since the Bolsheviks gained less seats in the vote than the Left SRs, he dissolved the Constituent Assembly, basically rendering Russia a single-party state. This obviously annoyed the rest of the communist groups, which joined in the general unrest. The Russian civil war came about for several reasons; including the general unrest with the Bolsheviks being in power from: Ex-Tsarist supporters Army generals Clerical associations Rightist groups Left SRs + Mensheviks FOREIGN SUPPORT - Allied powers - British, France, etc. The Russian civil war was basically the "Reds" [Bolsheviks] vs. the "Whites" [everyone mentionned above] The foreign support was there because the Bolsheviks saw the First World War as an "Imperialist" war, and not their business, and so withdrew Russia [The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk]. They also refused to pay back the war loans to the Allied forces, as they did not feel they had to, being a new government after the Provisional Government. The Allies also felt that if they defeated the Bolsheviks were defeated, Russia would rejoin the war and fight Germany on another border. As Churchill put it, England wished to "Strangle the Bolshevik Revolution in the cradle." The allied forces had a fear of communism. The Russian Civil war was basically inevitable, which the leaders of the Bolshevik party was aware of - which was a leading reason as to why the Bolshevik party left the First World War, as they knew they'd need the men and ammunition [but also because the 1st World War had been the demise of both the Tsar and the Provisional Government] - as Russia was in a critical period of revolution and reform.

Why did Russia lose the most land in world war 1?
Russia suffered so much because they were the least equipped for war.They had many men but they weren't prepared causing them to lose many battles on the eastern front. Also peasants were forced to fight. Russia was continually short on food, guns, ammunition, clothes, boots, and blankets. Also the supply shipments from the allies were limited but the Germans controlled the baltic sea. Also during the time of war, a revolution was taking place in Russia. They had to pull out of war due to war-related shortages of food and fuel. i hope this was helpful ~Annie~ The Russians were poorly equipped & badly led. Russia pulled out of the war because there was a Communist Revolution led by Vladimir Lenin going on in the country.
