Help

Can anyone give me some help on allied intervention during the Russian civil war? I'm also looking for information why it has been overlooked in the west?

Because it was so useless? We like to celebrate our successes. I've read some stuff in the past about the Canadian contribution (my memory was that it was (?partly?) RCMP, but I can't support that), but that was a long time ago, and I don't have any good links.
 
As always, start with Wikipedia:

The most significant by far was the Japanese force sent to Siberia, som 70,000 troops. Arriving in 1918 they were withdrawn in 1922.

The Allied forces, Whites, and various nationalist forces opposing the Reds were a hodge-podge, and no two of them were on the same page. While the Reds weren't military elites either by any stretch they at least were working toward a common goal and cooperated with one another for the most part. Their eventual victory was due to this more than anything else.
