France did not support the Bolshevik revolution for at least two reasons. France knew the Bolsheviks would take Russia out of World War 1 and that would allow Germany to send more of its military forces to fight the French and English. France also knew that the Bolsheviks aim was to foster revolutions in all other countries as well as in Russia. If the Bolsheviks came into power, they would be able to finance and support revolutionary socialist groups in France.
Every government in Europe and in the United States feared a Bolshevik take over in Russia, because it would be an eventual threat to revolution in their own governments. Even Germany, which wanted Lenin to overthrow the Russian government, was afraid of the socialist revolution spreading to it as well.
