Which countries did the Russian Civil War have the greatest impact?

Undoubtedly, it is a relatively weak country adjacent to Russia.

Of all Russia's neighbors, the most affected by the Russian Civil War was the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was in deep internal disarray.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire did not break up in the war, which was a great good thing for Emperor Karl I.

But the problem was that Karl I clearly did not have enough prestige to maintain the union of Austria and Hungary.

If you add in Bohemia, it's a tripartite situation.

The triangle is stable, but the trivial is not. Coupled with the influence of the Russian Revolution, Austria-Hungary also ushered in the most difficult choice.

In March 1919, Soviet Russia held a conference in Moscow and formally established the Third International.

After this, the Soviet party in Hungary received support from Moscow, and it became one of the largest parties in Hungary by absorbing supporters in the Kingdom of Hungary.

As mentioned earlier, Hungary's economy is mostly small-scale peasant economy and small-capital economy, which also means that Hungary has a large number of self-employed farmers.

In order to win over these peasants, the Soviet parties in Hungary trumpeted the advanced nature of the Soviet system and stressed that the Council of Deputies was fighting against the capitalists, the old Austrian government, for the benefit of the workers and peasants.

This corresponds to the relations between Hungary and Austria. The economies of Hungary and Austria are clearly on the weaker side.

The Hungarians were not happy to see the Austrian government oppress them, and the conflict between the Imperial and Imperial governments made the two regions even more bitter.

In opposition to the Soviet parties were the already established bourgeois parties in Hungary.

Although the two parties had different ideologies, they were united by a common goal: to end the 400-year rule of the Habsburgs in Hungary.

As the greatest family in Europe, the history of the Habsburgs is absolutely glorious and great.

But now, while retaining the Austrian throne, the Habsburgs' position in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is in jeopardy.

Emperor Karl I had not yet decided to cut off Austria and Hungary, even if the two regions had become enemies that could no longer be united.

If the betrayal of Hungary during the previous war was the trigger for the exacerbation of the contradictions between Austria and Hungary, then the very different attitude of the imperial government towards Austria and Hungary during the flu period was a sharp sword that directly cut off the ties between Austria and Hungary.

Hungary was a grain-producing region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the imperial government naturally asked the Kingdom of Hungary to provide enough food for the entire empire during the flu.

At the same time, because the Imperial Government was heavily indebted, the Imperial Government purchased the grain of the Kingdom of Hungary with empty checks, and the Austro-Constitutional Krona, which had depreciated to the point that it was inferior to waste paper.

The peasants and petty capitalists of the Kingdom of Hungary naturally did not want their hard-earned grain and assets to be bought up by the Imperial Government.

They also wanted to use the previous method, that is, to firmly declare that they had no food to prevaricate the demands of the imperial government.

But unexpectedly, under the orders of the imperial government, the army was directly drawn to the government of the Kingdom of Hungary and forcibly expropriated a large amount of grain.

Although some of the krona and pound sterling were also left as compensation, the Hungarian capitalists were clearly unwilling.

After all, during the flu period, the price of food had already increased several times. Isn't it just that the imperial government wants to use the price of food before the flu to buy food?

Besides, the Austro-Crarian krona could not be spent in Austria-Hungary, and the magnitude of the depreciation cannot even be described as an exaggeration.

Under such circumstances, the degree of resentment of the Kingdom of Hungary against the imperial government deepened infinitely, and the contradictions between the royal government and the imperial government were also exacerbated.

Emperor Karl I, who was supposed to be a mediator, not only did nothing in the face of the contradictions between the imperial government and the government of the Kingdom of Hungary, but also did not comfort the Hungarian government, which was on the side of the victims.

This made the Hungarian government very disappointed with Karl I, and also exacerbated the contradictions between the Hungarian people against the imperial government and the royal family.

It turns out that as long as the people don't like you, then everything you do is wrong.

The long-standing Hungarian population marched nationwide to demand the overthrow of Karl I's rule and the formation of a fully independent Hungarian democracy.

It was from this moment that relations between Austria and Hungary were so close that it was impossible for Karl I to have both worlds, and he had to make a choice between the two lands.

In the end, it was clear that Karl I could not choose the Kingdom of Hungary, which had already openly opposed him, but could only pretend to turn a blind eye and pray that Austria would not erupt into a Hungarian demonstration.

With the participation of Soviet Russia, it was impossible for the Hungarian march to end well.

In just a few days, the number of marchers in Hungary has exceeded 100,000. The populace demanded the formation of a completely independent government, or the overthrow of the government of the Kingdom of Hungary.

Under pressure from the people and parties in the country, Tiza, who was the prime minister of the Kingdom of Hungary at the time, united with the Hungarian armed commander, declared independence from Austria-Hungary, abolished the monarchy of the Kingdom of Hungary, changed the Kingdom of Hungary to the Hungarian Democratic Republic, and became the first prime minister of the Hungarian Democratic Republic.

The Hungarian Armed Forces Commander was appointed Minister of Defense of the Democratic Republic, and the two men began to promote their cronies in large numbers in order to quickly replace the original royal government.

The establishment of the Democratic Republic plunged Hungary into a carnival, and the major newspapers lamented the victory of the revolution.

But for the workers' parties of Soviet Russia and Hungary, the creation of a democratic republic was not a good thing.

Prime Minister Tiza made a perfect transition between the government of the Kingdom and the Government of the Democratic Republic, which had been painstakingly arranged for a long time, so that Soviet Russia did not get any benefits.

Under the influence of Soviet Russia, the Hungarian workers' party was in high spirits and demanded a return to the Russian path, that is, a civil war for the power of the government.

Soviet Russia, with its strong appeal in the working class, had already gained the upper hand in the civil war against Tsarist Russia.

The Hungarian workers' party wanted to replicate this, unite the Hungarian workers and peasants, and outright outright outlaw the democratic republican government that should not have been formed.

In May 1919, with the support of Soviet Russia, the Hungarian workers' party launched an armed uprising against the major cities of Hungary.

In just a few days, the flames of the Hungarian civil war spread to every corner of the country.

The civil war was not good news for the fledgling country, which, in addition to the civil war, faced possible reprisals from Austria-Hungary.

Prime Minister Tiza urgently appealed to the European countries for help and declared the gravity of Soviet Russia's expansion to the outside world.

The biggest reason why the countries in the Russian Civil War did not take the initiative to send troops was because Tsarist Russia had a partial advantage at the beginning, and theoretically it was possible to win the war with manpower consumption.

But unexpectedly, the appeal of Soviet Russia to the workers was huge, which also made a large number of workers in the Eastern European lands of Tsarist Russia respond to the call of Soviet Russia and join the queue against Tsarist Russia.

The peasant class, which supported the rule of the Tsar, was not so fanatical about the blind worship of the Tsar because of the violent repressive policy of Nicholas II at that time, and it was even more impossible to maintain the Tsar's rule with their own lives.

From the Russian Civil War to the present day, it can be seen that the Russian Civil War was divided between the north and the south at the beginning, and Tsarist Russia even occupied rich areas, including Poland.

Over time, however, Poland came under the control of Soviet Russia. Tsarist Russia, with its support from European countries, was no match for Soviet Russia.

In fact, this can be seen from the fighting spirit of the soldiers on both sides. The soldiers of Soviet Russia were inferior in equipment than those of Tsarist Russia, and they possessed a more fearless attitude and were not afraid of death in war.

On the other hand, on the side of Tsarist Russia, although most of the soldiers were veterans from the battlefields of World War I, these people also experienced the cruelty of war and were not so supportive of war.

In particular, a considerable number of them were forcibly conscripted into the battlefield, and their attitude towards the war was naturally not very good.

There were even many people who had the aftermath of the battlefield, but Tsarist Russia still did not think so, and still ordered these soldiers to go to the battlefield compulsorily.

If it had not been for the banning of the bourgeois government and the acquisition of some of the power of the assets by Nicholas II, I am afraid that the outcome of the Russian Civil War would have already been achieved.

In the face of the growing strength of Soviet Russia, and the fact that Soviet Russia was trying to spread this consciousness to other neighboring countries, European countries became vigilant.

No one wants such a country to appear on their side, which can have a huge impact on their own system and ideology.

For any industrial country, the working class is a force to be reckoned with. But if Soviet Russia had included all the workers in its sphere, wouldn't that mean that the workers of all the industrial countries could become supporters of the Soviets?

No monarch wants to see his country turn into a republic, especially a republic like the Soviets.

Hungary's request for help has also attracted the attention of European countries. If the invasion of Soviet Russia like Hungary could not be stopped, the whole of Europe would be influenced by Soviet Russia, something that no great power would want to see.
