The Allies Never Made Major Commitments Into the Russian Civil War

In the winter of 19 18 and 19 19, the allies had far bigger issues on their plate. The civil war in russia was not a high priority for them. They were ready to cut the cord if it looked like destroying bolshevism was going to require them to get sucked even deeper into the russian civil war. But next week we are going to leave the russian i ware off to one side. An usher in 19 19, not in russia, but in germany. Because, as lenin said, this was as close as they would ever be to world wide proletarian revolution.
