It's tough to see on the map but few know of the
Allied Intervention in the Russian Civil War.
In a nutshell, British, French, American, and Japanese troops were set to occupy rather large chunks of Russia to both stabilize armament trade with the White Russian Troops as well as prevent the Bolshevik Red Army from taking eye ports and land border regions.
UK: Occupied Baku/Georgia Region
US: Occupied Arkhangelsk w/ British & French Forces & Vladivostok region
Japan: Occupied Sakhalin Island & Vladivostok Region w/ US Forces
***************************
My question is what if after the growing failure of the White Russian forces, the Allies decide to keep and incorporate these occupied territories into the League of Nation Mandate system?
UK: Gets Baku Region mandate
France: Gets Arkhangelsk mandate
US: Gets Vladivostok/East Siberian mandate
Japan: Gets Sakhalin Island and Kurl Islands mandate
How plausible is this?
What could be the long term effects?
Could other territories be included?
