Abstract
Between the March 1917 revolution in Russia and the November 18 armistice with Germany, Britain's diplomatic and military activities in Russia had been determined by the war against Germany. During the period of the Provisional Government, the great effort had been to maintain the Eastern Front by keeping Russia actively in the war. From the Bolshevik Revolution of November 1917 to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in March 1918, this effort was continued. When it clearly had failed, military intervention was tried to keep Allied military stores from falling into German hands and to prevent Germany from exploiting Russia's resources and thereby prolonging the war. This military intervention, by force of circumstances, was carried out in cooperation with anti-Bolshevik Russian elements [TRUNCATED]
