For some, the motivation was self-preservation. They did not wish to go to war and die. For others, it was a belief that we had no business in Vietnam at all. For others still, it was a combination of these factors. Some people were simply pacifists and thought all war was wrong, so they opposed it on moral grounds.
People were motivated by different things to be opposed to World War I and it would depend on which people were motivated to opposition. The United States was dealing with motivation of not wanting to be a part of a blood bath amongst various other meanings.
Although a vague question, one could say that Britain did not necessarily wish to be in the war as it had a position of "Splendid Isolation", basically meaning that it would not take part in would politics unless it related directly to its interests. They did have a ship power race with Germany prior but I digress. The only reason why Britain was in the first World War was that they had signed a treaty with Belgium which stated that they would insure its independence. So when Germany invaded Belgium (in order to go through it to attack France, that way they would not have to go through the heavily defended boarder) Britain and the British Commonwealth had no choice but to enter the war.
no clue!!!!! that is what i need to know.
they were opposed to entering WW2, favoring neutrality
Copperheads.Congressional republicans who opposed Lincoln's handling of the war and the slavery issue were called radicals. Those that were willing to have peace at any price were called copperheads.
From what I can see, Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare policy, and the sinking of two american ships without warning is what motivated America to go into the war. Once again this is from what I can see on google lol.

FDR wasnt opposed to entering the war however the American congress would have voted against it as they were more concerned about improving Americas economy. Also the war was in Europe so at the time it was no concern of theirs until japan attacked pearl harbour.

Those that didn't have to fight it.
Doves are those who desire peace over war. Hawks support war when necessary to resolve a conflict or subdue an enemy. Consequently, it was the doves who opposed the Vietnam War.
William Jennings Bryan opposed the United States entering World War 1 because he had been known for peace treaties with at least 30 nations. With the United States entering into the war at least on of those countries would be allied with Germany. Another theory is that he wanted to protect America and by sending troops overseas to fight, America would be less defended than if all the troops stayed at home.
The Cold War in which Communist countries and sympathisers tried to impose their ideas and rule on those opposed to it.
