Correct, and U.S. and Japan intervened in Siberia, the U.S. originally to extricate the Czech Legion which had come across Siberia intending to fight against the Germans. British troops actually were seriously engaged against the Communists near Archangel. My professor, Calvin Hoover, told me that his division was booked for Archangel but they mutinied and forced the ships to return them to the United States at the end of WWI. He came home from war to farm in Illinois, failed, and decided to become an economist. I never knew him to tell a lie. He later wrote his dissertation on the starting of the 5-year plans in USSR in 1929, and then wrote "Germany Enters the Third Reich" in 1933, predicting world war within 5 years, came home and went to work for the New Deal. I once asked him in class in 1958 if he would pull the thermo trigger if USSR attached. He said, if Stalin were alive, he would. It would be better to have no human life at all than have Stalin running things. About Khrushev he said no, that there would still be hope.
