Russia / Japan: 'The Japanese Expeditionary Force attacks by Land, Water and Air'. Japanese invasion of Siberia in World War I. Tokyo, 1919

The Siberian Intervention (シベリア出兵 - Shiberia Shuppei), or the Siberian Expedition of 1918–1922 was the dispatch of troops of the Entente powers to the Russian Maritime Provinces as part of a larger effort by the western powers and Japan to support White Russian forces against the Bolshevik Red Army in the final year of World War I and during the Russian Civil War.

The Imperial Japanese Army continued to occupy Siberia even after other Allied forces had withdrawn in 1920.
