By late 1919, the Soviet State led by Lenin and Trotsky was emerging victorious, turning the tide in civil war and foreign intervention to their favour. Red Army under direct command of Leon Trotsky, had won a recent series of major victories against the White forces, defeating Denikin, and had forced Latvia and Estonia to sign peace treaties with it.
Now, it was the time to march westwards into Europe!
Lenin was restless to stimulate the revolution in Europe and wash off capitalism from the face of the earth. Germany topped his list, where he aimed to find a reliable fortress, a powerful launch pad for a Pan-European and World Socialist Revolution. Lenin vowed and aimed to punish the murderers of Rosa and Leibknecht as soon as possible.
