Talk:Columbian Civil War

Just pointing out that after the Russian Civil War and Lenin's death the Bolsheviks did not support communist insurgencies seriously (in the Chinese Civil War they supported the KMT until the late 1940's and gave only a small amount aid to the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, and that was mainly to oust Trotskyists). Partly this was because the major advocate for supporting such movements, Leon Trotsky, was seriously discredited by Stalin who was more focussed on Socialism in One Country especially until 1928 when Stalin was not yet secure as Soviet leader. As such I would find it unlikely that the Soviets would support the People's Army, or at least give them little more then lip service. That said, the Italians would certainly support the fascists (Mussolini was a much greater advocate of the movement internationally then Hitler was until WWII). --Cheers The Road to Hell  is paved with good intentions  02:50, November 1, 2015 (UTC)
