Challenge Question To what extent does the separation of the White army help the Bolsheviks win the civil war? The separation of the White army was a minimal extent that helped the Bolsheviks win the civil war. The separation only cause the White army to be not united. The separation causes the army to be not united because first of all the White army was formed by many group of people who hate the Bolsheviks and those people didn't have the same aim point. Therefore, the soldiers only listen to only one or two commanders. And by this they were defeated one by one by the Red army. However, separation is not the only factor that made the Bolsheviks win the civil war. The factories that the Bolsheviks took control in Moscow provide them weapons to fight in the civil war. By comparing the two armies, the Red army has more advantage by having more weapons than the White army, but still the seperation is a great extent that help the Bolsheviks win the civil war. Also the Red amy have an effective leader such as Trotsky. The White army overall didn't have any effective leader and that is one of the reson that they lose this civil war.
