The new Soviet government was in favor of the "rights of working people and exploited." Replaced the empire of the Tsars with a republic of Soviets, a gathering of free nations. Proposed replacing the Great War (Brest-Litovsk Treaty) by the war classes.
The author argues that the USSR and its brand new out of the war (Shameful for some, as they lost Ukraine and other territories) gave the first blow to the international projection of the revolution. However, the civil war became increasingly harsh, in 1918 he created the Red Army (under the phrase "socialist fatherland is in danger"), which at its peak reached the 5 million soldiers. White had to face a counter supported by western powers, Britain, USA and Japan mainly (though in 1920 was dispersed How important was the support received? Carr not specified). There were numerous riots in France, Germany and Italy: It was feared (the well-off society in particular) a worldwide revolution was maturing. Moreover, International announced the division of the world in two worlds and called to action, the socialist and capitalist. Editing not last long in his opinion, but when the revolutions occurred, blamed corrupt labor leaders. When in reality, even if it hurts to say, there was only a minority actually committed to communism. For example, when the Red Army advanced into Poland, was strongly resisted and had to retreat. In this state of affairs the Third International Communist left out a more lukewarm. Already by 1921 revolutionary wave intensity decreased significantly, relegated the goal of world revolution
