Why Did Russia Fall Into Civil War?

In 1917, Russia did not fall into civil war all at once. Step by step, the old authority collapsed, the army politicized, the land question exploded, the First World War continued, and every peaceful way to settle the conflict began to fail. This video explains why the Russian Revolution turned into the Russian Civil War — not as a simple story of Reds versus Whites, but as the result of several crises happening at the same time: the fall of the Tsar, the weakness of the Provisional Government, the rise of the Soviets, the breakdown of army discipline, peasant land seizures, the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917, the dispersal of the Constituent Assembly, and the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The Russian Civil War was not born from one decision or one ideology. It grew out of a collapsing state, a radicalized society, a war-weary army, and a country that could no longer agree on who had the right to rule. This is the story of how a revolution that promised peace, land, and freedom became a struggle over power, survival, and the future of Russia.
