Well most of the citizens of the United States wanted to remain neutral, they had an "isolationist" feeling, meaning that they wanted to exclude themselves from international affairs. After more destruction of allies, and personal ships carrying cargo, Woodrow Wilson couldn't prevent their entrance to the war anymore. He began preparations by the Selective Service Act, Victory Gardens, and Espionage and Sedition Acts (moral support). Once Germany sent the Zimmerman Note/Telegram to southern neighbor, Mexico, Woodrow Wilson and Congress aggreed to declare war on Germany.

Originally the United States Government did not want to become involved in World War I they thought it was a European War, but things such as the sinking of the Lusitania, unrestricted submarine warfare and of course the Zimmerman Telegram.

The U.S did not want to get involved in the war at the begging because they were doing good selling weaopns and amo to not only there allies but there enemy, the government was doing very good but when the Lusitania sank the U.S army came in to play in the war. Wodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points speech helped end the war, his speech was directed at NIMA Nationalism Imperialism Militaryism and Alliecesystem. His speech was delivered to help end the war and end any up coming wars or battles.

I have no idea! That's why I'm here, trying to find the answer. They did not like it. They thought trade was going to be interrupted and they feared for their independence.
