Answer 1

Although many groups opposed the Bolsheviks, the White Army was not very unified and this made it harder to have success in the war.

Explanation: White forces were divided by different leaders, goals, and fronts and lacked central coordination and popular support. The Reds, by contrast, held the population and industrial centers of central Russia, controlled the rail network, had a centralized command (Trotsky’s leadership), effective mobilization, and better logistics — all of which were decisive.
