What was one major result of the Russian Civil War?

Correct answer: The Bolsheviks saved their power

The correct answer is that the Bolsheviks preserved their power. The Russian Civil War, fought mainly between the Bolshevik Reds and their opponents, continued from 1918 to 1920. Although the country suffered destruction, hunger and economic disruption, the Red Army ultimately defeated the major White forces and foreign interventions. This allowed the Bolsheviks to retain control over the central government and build a new socialist state. The Tsar did not return; the Duma did not take all factories; and Russia did not become a British colony. Hence, option A identifies the principal political result of the Civil War.
