The United States wanted to maitain its neutrality because it didn't want to commit scarce resources to fight war.
The United States proclaimed its neutrality and isolationist policies while Europe was being split up and fighting.
The purpose of the Neutrality Acts was to prevent the United States from being involved in a foreign wars
In 1933
This Neutrality Proclamation stated that the United States would not take sides with any European countries that were at war.
The attack caused the United States to end its neutrality & declare war on Japan. ******* Note: a few days later, after the Pearl Harbour attack, Hitler declared war on America, so bringing America officially into the European war.
The United States never officially declared themselves neutral during the Second World War. Instead, they looked back the World War One to see what dragged them into that conflict. It was determined that trading with the warring nations at the time was what brought them into the war. To make sure that American soldiers were never again dragged into a European conflict they passed a series of laws known as the Neutrality Acts. The first Neutrality Act, stating that the United States could not trade arms and other war materials to any party participating in a war, was passed in 1935. So, in essence, this would be the first year the United States declared their neutrality. The United States passed more Neutrality Acts in 1936, 1937, and 1939. So, you could debate that the US declared their neutrality four times prior to their entering of the Second World War.

In the United States, only a joint resolution of Congress can officially declare war.
The United States Congress passed a series of Neutrality Acts because they feared that the United States would end up getting pulled into the conflicts that were occurring in Europe, and the United States had a strong feeling of isolationism at that time.
