Me kidding

There were three reasons why Civil War broke out in Russia in 1918.

The first reason was that there was bound to be a challenge to the Bolsheviks, who had seized power by a surprise coup d’état.   After 1918, their political opponents tried to reverse it.  The Bolsheviks had many enemies.   One group who wanted to destroy the Bolsheviks were the Social Revolutionaries.   At first, they had supported the November Revolution.   elections had been held in November 1917 for a new government – the Assembly – in which the Bolsheviks had won 175 seats and the Social Revolutionaries 370 seats.   However, when it met in 1918, Lenin used the Red Guards to close the Assembly, and killed anybody who objected.   The Social Revolutionaries fought back by attacking the Bolshevik government.   The Bolsheviks were also opposed by the Mensheviks (who had controlled the Provisional Government, and who they had toppled from control of the Soviets in September), and by the Tsarists (who wanted to rescue Nicholas II and put him back on the throne).   Lenin made peace with Germany (the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, in which Russia had lost much of Russia’s best agricultural and industrial land to Germany, including Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) and the former army officers were angry about this.   Also, the Bolshevik government had taken land from the Tsar and the nobles and given it to the peasants, and the civil war was supported by those landlords who had lost their land.   All these enemies of the Bolsheviks co-operated to try to bring down the Bolshevik government.

A second cause of the Civil War was the Czech Legion.   These were some Czech prisoners of war being taken across Russia who in 1918 mutinied, took control of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and attacked towards Moscow.

Finally, these groups within Russia were helped by the Great Powers, angry that Russia had dropped out of the First World War.   They were afraid because the Bolsheviks believed in World Revolution – the Bolsheviks set up the Comintern, led by Zinoviev, which said it would cause communist revolutions all over the world.   Consequently, the Allies sent armies to destroy the Bolsheviks  – British, American and French armies attacked from Archangel, Ukraine, and Vladivostock.

Why do you think the Republicans rejected negotiating a peace settlement in 1864 and instead demanded the unconditional surrende
algol [13]

It is first important to understand that not all Republicans rejected a peace settlement with the Confederates during or after the Civil War, but it was a smaller group within the party that totally and completely refused and demanded a full surrender without conditions to the South. This group was called the Radical Republicans and they began around 1854 and went until after the Reconstruction of 1877. They were the ones who were responsible for the establishment of the Fourteenth Ammendment and they radically opposed any negotiations with the South on the basis of their being totally against segregation and slavery. Some other factions within the Republican party, including Lincoln, were more moderate and were willing to give in to some of the demands from the Confederates, especially ont he issue of slaves.

The reason for these radical Republicans not wanting to negotiate with the Southern Confederates, was that they refused to allow slavery to continue. They were pushing for all slaves in the U.S to be freed, for segregation to be prohibited, for rights for black people to be established in the United States and even went as far as pushing for civil rights, including suffrage, for African Americans. But the South, of course, refused these terms. This is why neither Radical Republicans, nor Confederate members would have been able to settle anything in a negotiation. There was no common ground for the toughest issue of all; slavery.
