Soviet Foreign Policy towards Japan during the Russian Civil War (1918-1925)
Abstract
When the Bolsheviks succeeded in declaring their socialist revolution in Russia, and they emerged from the First World War, after the peace with Germany in 1918, the countries of reconciliation stood against them, and imposed on them political and economic isolation, as well as the severance of diplomatic relations, and not only that, but they intervened militarily and directly, and occupied Russian territory, and Japan was one of those countries that occupied Russian territory and severed relations with them, but the emerging Soviet government faced foreign interference on the one hand. And pursued a foreign policy based on improving relations with all the countries of the world, So the Russian government worked to restore relations with Japan, culminating in the 1925 Treaty, ending the isolation imposed on it, and Japan withdrawing its military forces from Russian territory .
