Summary
Leon Trotsky can be seen as the key to winning the Reds victories, he was very strategic and smart, proving to be a huge advantage for the reds. Everyone who opposed the reds were known as the whites and because they did not fully understand communism they did not understand what they were fighting for and so they lost.
