The West, including the United States, Britain, and France, became involved in the Russian Civil War due to political interests. At the time, many Russians were angry over the Brest-Litovsk treaty that handed over Russia's Baltic States, Belarus, and the Ukraine to the Germans. In the eyes of these people, the Bolsheviks were traitors, thinking they sold Russia to the Germans (after all, German agents had approached Lenin during World War I paying him to print anti-Russian Propaganda). The British, French, and Americans (the West) felt the same way about this and backed the anti-Bolsheviks, who were not a unified army, but rather a conglomeration of armies bent on gaining power in Russia. The West also did not want Communism to spread, which began a sort of pre-cursor to the Cold War before the breaking of agreements that occurred at the Yalta Conference between Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill and Roosevelt (here, they agreed to allow free election to be established in former Nazi occupied territories).
