What is model causation paragraph?Show answer
"The Bolsheviks won the Civil War above all because they were united and held the centre while their enemies were divided and scattered. The Reds had one government and Trotsky's disciplined Red Army, and from their central core they controlled Moscow, Petrograd, the railways and the industry, allowing them to move troops and supplies quickly. The Whites, by contrast, were a loose coalition of monarchists, liberals and others who could not agree on aims or coordinate their attacks.
