The Ruvelkan People’s Red Army (Ruvelkan: Ruvelya Népi Vörös Hadsereg), frequently shortened and referred to simply as the Red Army, was the army of the Ruvelkan Socialist Republic. Founded in early February 1865 following an armed uprising in Kaposvár, the Communists raised the army to oppose the White Movement loyal to the Ruvelkan Imperium. The Red Army saw exponential growth in the opening months of the Red War and had soundly defeated the Imperials by 1867.
Emboldened by their success following the foundation of the Socialist Republic, the Red Army was turned westward against the neighboring nation of the Kingdom of Makedon. The Ruvelkan Communist Party had hoped a successful campaign against Makedon would help to spur the start of a Siduri-wide communist revolution. Although initially successful, the Red Army was eventually halted. It suffered from poor leadership and poor strategic planning, eventually being pushed out of Makedon entirely and losing the regions of Imerti and Zemplen.
The following years saw massive reforms which helped to develop the Red Army into a more uniform and organized fighting force, but poor administration and weak leadership hammered its effectiveness on the battlefield.
