The Siberian Intervention refers to the military campaign by Allied forces during the Russian Civil War in 1918-1920. This intervention aimed to support anti-Bolshevik forces and prevent the spread of communism in Russia. The harsh Siberian terrain posed challenges for both sides, with brutal winter conditions making warfare even more difficult. Despite initial successes, the intervention ultimately failed to achieve its objectives and ended in withdrawal of foreign troops. The legacy of the Siberian Intervention remains controversial, with some viewing it as a necessary effort to contain communism while others criticize it as imperialist interference in Russian affairs. Overall, this chapter of history serves as a reminder of the complexities and consequences of foreign interventions in civil conflicts.
