The end of World War One was not the end of all war, even for those who had just fought it. Fresh from the trenches, French and Greek soldiers found themselves being shipped to the new state of Ukraine on Christmas Day, 1918, in an attempt to stop the spread of Communism. This historical documentary is the story of the Southern Allied Intervention in the Russian Civil War.
