The Influence of London on the French Government's Non-Intervention Policy

Many within the French government favored a policy of non-intervention in Spain. There were concerns from Bloom that his government would not survive such an open commitment to clearly left-wing causes, and they were also discouraged from intervention by the British. This combination of influences away from intervention would eventually lead the French government to join the British in its calls for aNon-intervention discussion between France, Britain, Italy, and Germany.
