What led to Denikin's resignation as the leader of the White Forces?

  • Health issues

  • Defeat and pressure

  • Political scandal

  • Personal reasons

Answer

Defeat and pressure from within his ranks and from the Bolshevik forces compelled Denikin to resign as leader of the White Forces. He faced dwindling support from his subordinates, who criticized his leadership and military strategies. Additionally, the relentless pressure from the advancing Bolshevik Red Army further weakened his position and made it untenable for him to continue leading the White movement.
