Why did the US intervene in the Mexican Revolution?

Answer 1

As the Russian Revolution raged throughout Russian territory, the United States (along with many other Western nations) became involved for one fundamental reason: concern over the consequences of a 'Bolshevik' take-over of Russia. Western nations were generally suspicious (and even fearful) of the establishment of Communism in any political manner, hence they contributed military and other support in the hope that the 'Reds' would not succeed.

Answer 2

US President Woodrow Wilson was being pressured by France and Great Britain to give support to a Czechoslovak Legion which was making surprisingly good progress against the Red Army. The hope of those two countries was that the legion might either topple the Bolshevik government and get Russia back into the war or at least force the Bolsheviks to reenter the war to preserve its own existence. Wilson denied he had any intention of removing the Bolshevik government.

The US already had troops in Murmansk, to protect military supplies the US had sent to Tsarist Russia for use in World War 1.

In order to make a show of support to the advancing Czech Legion and lend aid to the civilian population, 5,000 troops were deployed in Archangel and 8,000 more were deployed in Vladivostok.

The number of US troops was trivial, showing that the US most likely did not intend to influence the outcome of the civil war even though it probably would have preferred to see the Bolsheviks ousted.

Answer 3

The United States played essentially no role in the Russian Revolution. Some escaping royals made their way to the United States and asked and received asylum.

Answer 4

The u.s got involved with the spanish American because the Americans sent an American ship to protect Americans and the ship was bombed.
