1 brief and not whollly accurate, but a start at least answer - was that they realised that if they didn't involve themselves they would a) have no friends internationally...b) the war was moving their way, and they didn't want to dirty their own shores. It's much harder to fight when someone is on your land than if you actually go out to meet them and stop them before they reach your perimeter. It didn't, really. The US went to war to end U-Boat attacks on its ships and German anti-US intrigues in Mexico. That achieved, it soon reverted tto isolationism and so sontinued until 1941.
By the late 1800s, some Americans believed the United States needed to expand to keep its economy strong.

the American policy changed and adopted the policy of isolation because of many causes but the main cause was recognition and acceptance it a problem of only Europe not of the world so this sense of alienation from the very order of Europe dragged her tofollow the policy of isolation
Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor convinced the United States to come out of their isolation policy and join WW2.

Isolation. Congress didn't want to get involved in the problems of Europe.
I believe the term you are looking for is isolation. America had an "isolation policy", which meant that they would stay out of European affairs, for a long period up until their entry into World War One.
The USA tried to stay out of the war and maintain the policy of "isolation". However German U-boat sunk the American ship Lusatania. That caused an uproar within the US and they entered the war in 1917. Custermen

The American people did not want to get involved in a European War. The USA wanted to practice isolation.
US Foreign Policy prior to US entry in World War I in 1917 was a policy of ISOLATIONISM and NEUTRALITY, with an official avoidance of heightened commerce with all parties involved in the war. However, Wilson intended to bring the US into the war on the side of the allies and covertly supported the British war effort. He did not make this official policy because entering the war would be incredibly unpopular.
