History

Historical Context

The Russian Civil War (1917-1922) followed the Bolshevik Revolution, which overthrew the Provisional Government amid widespread discontent from World War I. This conflict resulted in approximately 10 million deaths and the establishment of the Soviet Union. Vladimir Putin's current actions in Ukraine reflect the historical struggles for territorial control and national identity that have shaped Russia's foreign policy since the early 20th century.
