: : In the early 1900's was there an area called White Rusia? Thank you.
: "Belorussia" (today called "Belarus") translates to English as "White Russia".
: Not to be confused with the "White" military forces during the period of the revolution (~1918) who were anti-Bolshevik (i.e., anti the "Reds").
There was also "Red Rusia" and "Black Rusia", the last one some territorias of Belarus, as Grodno. Where I left the map???? If I succed and find it, I'll write you, Joe. It was much earlier than Belarus. But Hania is right, in 1900ties "White Ruse" existe, now Belarus.
