Best Answer

Foreign wars are costly both in money and in human lives. In Wilson's day, the US did not maintain a standing army nor have military bases all over the world. Very few Americans saw any value in the US sending an army to Europe, so neutrality, or at least the official position of neutrality, was the obvious policy to follow.
