    They were willing to invade Russia (albeit with small forces) to stop the communists. They would certainly not go that far for the fascists.

      Exactly. The common consensus at the time was that the Communists were the main enemy, even when fascism was on the rise the liberal democracies sided with them because the communists were seen as a bigger threat. No way would they waste their resources on stopping a fascist coup, those were their allies.
