"Yes, you read that right, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom as well, invaded Russia in 1918"

My great grandfather was one of the troops. On the way back they had to dump their kit over the side of the ship to disguise what they'd been up to.

WWI had a massive impact on the world today, it was essentially the beginning of the end of European dominance of the world as even the victors were so heavily in debt that the cracks soon started to show in their global empires, and of course it caused WWII which finished Britain off for good as a superpower.
