White Army the constitutionalist and monarchist armed forces which opposed the Bolshevik Red Army in the Russian civil war of 1917–20. Comprised of several different groups with varying objectives, the Whites, led by former officers of the Imperial Russian armed forces, were ultimately unsuccessful in stemming the expansion of Bolshevik control throughout the country, and the bedraggled remnants of the White Army were evacuated from the Crimean peninsula by the British and French navies in November 1920.
