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 Lend Lease Act marked a distinct departure from US neutrality in WW2. This signaled a movement toward a policy of support for the Allies.
The Allies succeeded because of good planning and having all the troops ready. Also having huge naval and air support before and during the day.
Everybody had mutual support treaties with other countries. When two countries started a war, their allies had to step in to help. These allies had allies of their own and they too had to get involved. Fairly soon nations which had no interest in the initial conflict were dragged into the fighting.
America's support of the allies led Hitler to attack American ships.
Following Roosevelt's reelection in 1940, support for the Allies in the United States began to shift more decisively. 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.

Vladimir Lenin and his Bolshevik followers split from the Menshevik dominated Russian Social Democratic Workers Party in 1906. In other words, the Bolsheviks did not "split from the Mensheviks." Lenin created the Bolshevik faction within the RSDLP in 1903. Then the remaining members began calling themselves Mensheviks. This was a bad tactical move on the part of the Mensheviks, because "mensheviks" means "minorityites" when in fact those members were in the majority.

The Mensheviks and Bolsheviks were the main factions in the soviet councils and the main factions involved in the March 1917 overthrow of the czar. The Mensheviks established the Provisional Government which the Bolsheviks wrested power from in the November Revolution.
No, the Mensheviks were led mostly by Jules Martov. Trotsky was part of the Menshevik faction and one of its best theoreticians, but he wasn't their leader. Shortly before the October Revolution, Trotsky left the Mensheviks and joined the Bolsheviks.
