US didn't provide any troops or resources to Russian Civil War. A few clashes with pro-Bolshevik bandits were from Japanese forces.

- gandhium 9y agoSo, the only verified facts are that US troops were securing the materials and defending against Bolshevik attackers.
- boomboomsubban 9y agoThat's not all the facts, that's proof of my claim they "provided troops and supplies."
- gandhium 9y agoThey've provided troops and supplies to _guard the war materials_.
- boomboomsubban 9y agoThe war materials they were giving to the Whites to help them fight the civil war. This isn't controversial, the US openly backed the Whites in the war.
- gandhium 9y agoDid you read that Wiki article? War materials were given to support Tsarist Russia in WW1.
- boomboomsubban 9y agoThat was the original reason for sending supplies to Russia and it had been going on for years. This expedition was after the fall of the Tzarists government, after Russia had exited WWI, and started months before the armistice. And again, this is not all the actions taken by America in the conflict.
- gandhium 9y agoWhat was the original reason? Sending supplies to Whites when there was no Whites?
- boomboomsubban 9y agoSupplying Tzarists Russia started in like 1914. By the time being discussed, they were supplying the Whites.
