    The 31st Infantry Regiment is probably the most hard-luck regiment in the US Army. Their first combat deployment was to Siberia. Their next combat was on Bataan in the Philippines and were subject to the Bataan Death March. In the Korean War they were at Chosin Reservoir. Poor bastards.

      1. The furthest the Greeks have traveled was to Scandinavia.
      2. Celts had sizable population in Egypt. They were first invited by Ptolomey II as bodyguards, but they soon settled with families. That means Egypt was at that time place where you could find Celts from Europe and Ethiopian merchants living side by side.
      3. Muslim Spain was so well connected that they had plantations of rice. Emirate of Granada financed all their fortresses that Christians had hard time conquering by selling Silk to Italians on nearly an industrial scale.
      4. Few Japanese visited Tenochtitlan that was now capital of New Spain and converted to Christianity.
      5. Portugese tried to conquer a Sultanate in Somalia and they failed spectaculary. That same Sultante sold Chinese a Giraffe.
      6. Sultan Ismail fathered over 1000 children, making him one of the most fertile men in history.
      7. Mussolini suggested that, if Jews have to be transported and given home, it should be neither in Madagascar or Palestine, but in Beta Isreal (Ethiopia).
      8. That same Wodrow Wilson would invade Mexico and occupy Velcrauz for a decade. This happened because Mexico accidently arrested American crew for smuggling goods. When they realised what they did, Mexico appologiest and offered reparation in return, to with America simply invaded.
      9. USA and Soviet Union nearly gave up all the nuclear wepeons. That never happened because Regan was convinced his program Star Wars will succsed, which is arming of the space. It didn't happen for now.

      Since the Bolsheviks were basically German agents at the start, it was more a low stakes low commitment continuation of WW1 than any serious effort to beat the Reds.
      So, in 1918 you had to intervene to put pressure on the East German Empire, then the Macedonian front collapses and there's peace, and now you're just kind of pissed at the Bolsheviks and since the British had spent the entire 19th century being rivals with Russia the idea of have a Russian puppet sounded nice.
      I get what you're saying, but I think this is significantly different from those other interventions in ways that makes comparison difficult at best.

    From the Australian War Memorial Canberra: “An Allied expeditionary force, including some Australian volunteers, was landed at Murmansk in March 1918 to support the weakening Russian front against Germany. The front was reinforced by further landings at Archangel in August 1918. In supporting the White Russians, the force became involved in operations against the Bolsheviks. To extract the force after the Armistice and after the Russian winter, the North Russia Relief Force was raised in UK, again including Australian volunteers, arriving in North Russia in June 1919. All British forces were evacuated by September 1919.”
    Two Australians were awarded a Victoria Cross for actions in North Russia: Corporal Arthur Percy SULLIVAN and Sergeant Samuel George PEARSE. Their Victoria Crosses are on display in the Hall of Valour at the Memorial.

      Thank you, that was interesting. But... but... Russia signed a peace treaty with Germany on March 3 (!), 1918. Why didn't your brave soldiers just pack up and head straight back home? Why "getting involved"? It's called invasion, intervention, violation of independence or whatever, isn't it? Why couldn't they just be brave on their own land instead? I know it's the governments that are to blame. Those are rhetorical questions. I'm just sad.

A group of soviets charged a field hospital, and the commander ordered all the wounded to be killed, but was stopped by his mistress. While this was happening the Canadian Artillery repositioned their guns, and when the russians eventually left the field hospital to charge at the artillery, they were met by a salvo at point blank range, scattering them.

      At the time and until post WWII, the US was the largest and principal producer of oil in the world. The US so dominated the commodity that the embargo imposed upon Japan, by FDR in 1941, convinced the Japanese to attempt the Pearl Harbor attack, since without US oil, its economy would simply collapse.
      The Saudi fields and Iraq, Iran and Kuwait did not begin to come on line until the 40s and 50s; nor had the other modern, major oil sources such as Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, Nigeria etc...
      Everything in world history has not been inspired by a desire for oil.
      Also, the major oil fields in Russia at the time, were between the Black and Caspian Seas, not in Siberia. These were the fields that supplied the USSR in WWII and what Hitler attempted to seize in the Stalingrad campaign in 42.

      ​@@tritium1998 So the Taliban did become representatives of Afghanistan, by your logic, and North Koreans representatives of the whole Korean Peninsula. A totally false assumption, even the bolsheviks never called their state officially "Russia" or a "successor-state" to any Russian state, as such thing was considered "Tsarist" and "reactionary". They regarded Russia just as a "place d'armes" / carrier for World Revolution and for their expansion into Central Europe, and only when that failed after being stopped in Warsaw, they had to settle for "Russia". Besides this video is about the early years, when nobody recognized the bandit and terrorist groups as a legit state, even Lenin admitted he had no control over all of them. So whatever you are crying about, it is not relevant for the period in this video. Soviets are not the same thing as "Russia", just as North Korea and South Korea are not successor states or anything like that.
