White Army

The White Army during the Russian Revolution was an alliance of various groups that opposed the Red Army of Vladimir Lenin's Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War. White Army supporters included liberals, aristocrats, Cossacks, the Russian Orthodox Church, and some peasants. Eventually, the enemies of the Bolsheviks sent ships and troops to help the White Army. They fought against the Red Army of Soviet Russia.^[1]

In Soviet propaganda, White generals were often made fun of. They were often accused of secretly working against Russia or being bribed by the rich governments of Britain, France, and the United States.^[2]

The Russian Army during the Provisional Government period had a standard structure, but each unit had its own unique features. The White Army's military tactics were influenced by First World War experiences, which significantly shaped the nature of the Russian Civil War.
