They didn't they were attacked at Pearl Harbor and they wanted to get back at them.

AnswerThe USA entered war after the Japanese attack on the 7th of December 1941... that's more than a year after the war had started. Yes, there's still the question why the USA were neutral for such a long time. AnswerThe marjority of the US citizens wanted to remain neutral. The European countries had been fighting local and large wars for years. The US sent troops in 1917 that greatly helped to end the terrible conflict going on then. The US simply did not want to be a part of the conflicts and alliances that were forming among all of the European countries.

Throughout the years, Americans have tried to stay out of the global picture. We felt that we should only concern ourselves with our own borders and regions. During the 1930's, the world did not seem as small and we thought that another big war in Europe would not have any effect on our lives.
