Kazakh Civil War

The Kazakh Civil War was a conflict that began in 1945 and ended in 1949. The war saw the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic collapse in the face of a number of opponents, including: the People’s Republic of Kazakhstan, Polish People’s Soviet Republic, Qostanai Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, and the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The war began after nationalist elements within Kazakhstan sought to depose the pro-Soviet government of the KSSR. These Kazakh nationalists were overwhelmingly Communist in nature, though there was also a much smaller, conservative element. In northern Kazakhstan, there were also three ethnicities who sought to protect themselves from the ravages of war - the Germans, Polish and Ukrainians.
