Counterfactuals: The Russian Civil War and the Polar Bears

Welcome to the History Guy Podcast: Counterfactuals. What is a counterfactual? At it’s most basic, it is a ‘what if’. It’s a way of understanding history as it is by discussing what it could have been.

On today’s episode, we talk about a little remembered campaign by the Allies to intervene in the Russian Civil War, at the tail-end and even after the end of WWI.
