The main reason is that the Tsar (Nicholas) had been losing control of his nation since rebellion had been brewing during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904-1905. The Russian battleship Potemkin, part of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, erupted into mutiny after receiving news of the Battle of Tsushima (Baltic Fleet wiped out) in May 1905. Bluntly put, the Tsarist government was on the verge of collapse in 1905, the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 was simply a better time for it to happen; since the Tsar had just left one war against the Japanese nine years earlier, only to find himself embroiled with another one in 1914, this time with the Germans.
The Bolsheviks ("reds"), were able to execute the remaining Romanov dynasty leading the counter-revolutionaries ("whites"), and thus end the war.

What were the disadvantages of the Bolsheviks Civil War and why did they win the Civil War?
The disadvantage of the Bolshevik revolution was that it brought about a psychotically repressive and dictatorial government which was, under Joseph Stalin, among the very worst in all of human history. The reason why the Bolsheviks won was that the revolution took place in 1917 when Russia was still involved in WW I, and the Russian public was desperate to end Russia's involvement in that horribly destructive war, and was willing to do anything to accomplish that objective, and the Bolsheviks presented themselves as the means to do it.
