They didn't want to involve themselves with a war that was none of their business - joining the war would've meant spending a lot of money on resources, putting the US back into recession.

The only reason America did eventually join the war was due to retaliation - they wanted revenge for the December 7th Pearl Harbor attacks in 1941. Great Britain, Canada, Australia, France, and other allied nations were already fighting in Europe and Africa as early as 1939.
