NOW WHAT? REVOLUTION IS OVER-CIVIL WAR! • A piece of note book paper…folded into fours.

Defend your answer…. • In a paragraph, state your position as to who is the best qualified to govern the new Russia. • In your paragraph, include at least 3 specific reasons from the position cards to support your position (your position must be clearly stated) .

Why did the Reds win? Main problems facing the Whites Red Advantages: Unified and disciplined leaders Scattered around central Russia, hundreds of miles between armies Trotsky was personally courageous Communication was difficult Singleaim: to stay in power Rivalry between generals The Reds held the central area of western Russia, which was where most large industries were Different aims amongst the Whites Lacked good leaders Controlled train and communication lines, so the Reds could act quickly Whites fought amongst themselves and didn’t trust each other
