    The Greens weren't really a faction, they ranged from Socialist Peasant rebellions because the White Armies were brutal, to Socialist Peasant rebellions because the local Red forces fucked up, to a bunch of anti-semitic farmers who just wanted to kill all the local Jews.

    It's kind of a catch-all term to describe rural armies that aren't formally anarchist or red.

        if I recall correctly there was also a group of assorted bandits/militias who varied from wanting to protect their local area from the war to wanting to take advantage of the chaos and steal shit in the English civil war. I think they might even have been called the greens

    weren't the greens the catch all term for assorted warlords and local militias with no cohesive goals

    it's like counting people checking other as one big group
