In 1920, why did the Russians, who regarded territory as more important than their lives, lose 3 million square kilometers of the Far East?

Although "Fighting Nation" is a joke name, it also vividly reflects the bravery and good fighting of russians, even in the face of a powerful enemy, they have not flinched, which is vividly reflected in World War II. Since the historical Russians broke away from the Mongol rule, it seems that they have opened the "genetic code" and embarked on the path of war powers that have expanded their territories.

The spirit of expansion and daring to fight also made the Russians regard territory more important than their own lives, because in their view, territory is a symbol of strength. But everything is absolute, the Russians in 1920, took the initiative to let more than 3 million square kilometers of territory split off to establish a country, so why, in the end, the country does not exist now?

This also begins with the civil war in Tsarist Russia, which was unable to maintain the stability of its rule after World War I, and the great power entrenched in Eurasia fell into civil war overnight. The Soviet Red Army, which represented communism, was quickly formed, but Russia was always regarded as a "dangerous element" by the empires, fearing that the revolution brought about by communism would overthrow its rule.

Moreover, at that time, Tsarist Russia still had about 22 million square kilometers of territory, even if it had just experienced a war, the major imperialists were still attracted by the territory of Tsarist Russia, and they planned to bite off a piece of Russian flesh by interfering in the Russian civil war.

At that time, the Tsarist army was already in the ascendant, and in order to snipe at Soviet Russia, 14 imperialist countries, including Britain, France and Japan, formed a coalition army and entered Russia to encircle and suppress the revolutionary Soviet Red Army, while also trying to occupy the Russian territory close to them.

At the same time, the Japanese army also set its sights on the Russian Far East, and once the Far East was taken, Japan would not only be able to completely take control of the Manchurian Railway, but also ensure its own interests in Siberia. In this way, the Japanese army contacted the remnants of Tsarist Russia in the Far East, intending to support a puppet regime and firmly control the Far East in its own hands.

Not only Japan, but also the Soviet Red Army in the western part of Russia was attacked by European coalition forces, and overnight the Soviet Red Army suffered an east-west attack. In order to better cope with the attack in the direction of Europe, the Soviet Red Army could only temporarily slow down the offensive of the Japanese army in the Far East.

But this still did not allow Soviet Russia to concentrate on dealing with the European coalition forces, and in order to put an end to the problems in the Far East, under Lenin's proposal, more than 3 million square kilometers of territory in the east of Russia were separated and a country was built independently. In fact, this independent Far Eastern Republic was actually a buffer zone set up by Soviet Russia to delay the Japanese offensive.

In order to ensure full control of the independent Far Eastern Republic, The Soviet Union specially selected people of absolute loyalty to serve as the country's top leaders. While the Far Eastern Republic was developing communist forces and resisting Japanese aggression, the Soviet Red Army focused its war on the Battlefield of Europe.

After the war in Europe subsided, the Soviet Red Army began to vigorously purge the Japanese forces in the Far Eastern Republics, and to eliminate all the forces supported by the Japanese army. It was not until the japanese army was all withdrawn from Vladivostok that the Far Eastern Republic completed its mission, directly abolished its own regime, and once again joined the Territory of Soviet Russia, becoming a state of Soviet Russia. A month later, the Soviet Union stepped onto the stage of history.
