There were three main reason why‚ I believe‚ the Red Army conquered in the Russian Civil War in 1918.

The changes in the war aims by President Abraham Lincoln were very important in winning the war.

The civil war was fought for many reasons‚ After Abraham lincoln was elected in 1860 the South feared that he would abolish slavery so the South seceded from the Union.( Civil War Trust 1).

In order to win the war‚ the Union had to think smart and play it to their advantage. In the book The Civil War: A Visual History‚ author John E.
