Reading about the international invasion of Russia during the civil war and the introduction ends:
"Soviet and Russian interpretations generally exaggerate the role of the Allies in the Civil War and allege they intended to partition Russia. "Overall the extent of allied intervention during the civil war was minuscule and inconsequential", according to Flake (2019)."
Over 200,000 foreign troops invaded Russia. The only reason it was "inconsequential" is because the Reds kicked ass. To be fair, the rest of the entry gives additional context, but still, shit's wack.
The WW1 history I read literally said of this "the so called "imperialist" powers like the US and the British Empire". Westerners are fucking insane. Also the allied ground intervention is not even the main thing they did. Their intervention was in pouring arms, establishing puppets through which to let white armies fall back to and then attack from, provide naval support, assist in the stealing of what ships the Bolsheviks did have, embargoing the nation, lessening pressure on Germany to it could occupy the Baltics and Ukraine, and putting their thumb on the scale in key fronts at the right moment. Like they cost the Bolsheviks the Baltics with their naval intervention.
