107 years ago today, March 9, 1918 (January 27, 1918 in the lunar calendar), the Allies began armed interference in Soviet Russia. On March 9, 1918, the Allies began armed intervention in Soviet Russia. On March 3, 1918, after signing the Peace of Brest with Germany, Soviet Russia withdrew from the imperialist First World War. On March 9, the first batch of British Marines landed in Murmansk, the important town in the north of Soviet Russia, on the grounds of fulfilling their allied duties and preventing the German fleet from invading. French, American and Italian troops also followed suit. In August, Allied troops occupied Arkhangelsk. Japan sent troops to occupy Vietnam on April 5 in the name of protecting its citizens. In August, U.S. troops also landed there. German troops occupied the Baltic coast and Ukraine. At this time, the foreign intervention forces had not publicly launched the banner of subversion of Soviet power and did not attack the center of Soviet Russia. After the end of the First World War, the Allies stepped up their armed intervention. From 1919 to 1920, they successively used the White Guards such as Kolchak and Denikin to organize attacks on the Soviet regime, but all failed. In October 1922, all foreign intervention forces were expelled from Soviet territory.
