Quick Overview 🚀
- Bolsheviks grabbed power but faced immediate opposition called the "Whites".
- Major reasons for this opposition? Russian Empire's breakup, Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Political disagreements, and International intervention.
In-depth Analysis 🔍
Breakup of the Russian Empire 🌍
- Lenin's decree (Nov 1917): Non-Russian territories could leave Russia.
- Result: Fins, Latvians, Ukrainians declared independence from RSFSR (Russia after October Revolution).
- Fun Fact: By June 1918, Russia was like a jigsaw puzzle with 33 sovereign governments!
- Real-world example: Imagine the US suddenly had 50 independent countries instead of states! Chaos, right?
- Local Perspective: Many Russians didn't like this, ready to fight to keep Russia united. Those who got independence? Super determined to keep it!
Treaty of Brest-Litovsk Impact 📜
- What did it do? Gave away a ton of Russian land. (Check out map on pages 181-182)
- How did people feel? It's like selling your house and then being told to live in the garage. Patriot Russians were very upset and wanted to fight against the Bolsheviks.
