The Allies supported the Mensheviks during the Russian Civil War primarily because they viewed them as a more moderate and democratic alternative to the Bolsheviks, who were perceived as radical and threatening to the stability of Europe. The Mensheviks advocated for a more gradual approach to socialism, which aligned better with the Allies' interests in maintaining a liberal democratic framework. Additionally, by supporting the Mensheviks, the Allies hoped to counter the spread of Bolshevik ideology and maintain their own influence in Russia.

The election victory signaled a mandate for Roosevelt to strengthen aid to Britain and other Allied nations, leading to increased military and economic support through measures like the Lend-Lease Act. Public opinion gradually shifted as the threat of Axis powers became more apparent, fostering a sense of urgency to assist Allies without direct military involvement. This change laid the groundwork for deeper American engagement in WWII.
