Summary:Over 100 years ago Western nations intervened in Russia in support of White forces against the Bolsheviks and their revolution. Canada was one of those intervenors and was a major participant. Canada's intervention had a lasting effect on that nation and was the start of its international independence from Britain while remaining an integral part of, first, the British Empire, and later its successor, the British Commonwealth.
