How many attacks were there to the USSR/CCCP prior to WWII?
I need to know how many times there was an attack on Soviet soil prior to World War II. This is for a college level history paper I am working on and I can't find any specific information in regards to it online. I have found lots of information regarding military action BY the Soviet Union but not so much regarding attacks upon them.
The most significant attacks were those of the Interventionist forces just after the October Revolution. Other than this there were no significant attacks on Russian or Soviet soil.
All of the Western Allies sent detachments of troops to various Russian ports after Russia withdrew from the war after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
28,000 Japanese - Vladivostok
24,000 Greeks - Crimea
16,000 British - Arkhangelsk and Vladivostok (My Gt Grandfather was in Arkhangelsk)
13,000 Americans (in the Arkhangelsk and Vladivostok regions)
12,000 French - Arkhangelsk & Odessa
12,000 Poles - Crimea & Ukraine
4,000 Canadians - Arkhangelsk and Vladivostok
4,000 Serbs - Arkhangelsk
4,000 Romanians - Arkhangelsk
2,000 Italians - Arkhangelsk
2,000 Chinese - Arkhangelsk
560 Australians - Arkhangelsk
There were several reasons for the Allied Intervention: to secure the Czech Legion - a pro-Allied army of captured Czechs who wanted to fight the Austro-Hungarian Empire; to secure the ports and ensure the White (anti-Bolshevik armies) got supplies of arms and ammunition; and to try to re-open the Eastern Front against the Central Powers; and to support the newly independent (or to bolster independence claims) of Finland and the Baltic Republics - there is a plaque commemorating the British Sailors who helped Estonia become independent near one of the city gates in Tallinn.
