In the two most recent, most dreadful, wars in Europe - World War I and World War II - America entered 'late'.
In World War I, which began on 28 July, 1914 - the Americans entered the war when their Expeditionary Forces arrived on 3 May 1917.
The reason given for America joining was the Germans attacks on American neutrality by way of attacks on international shipping.
In World War II, which started on 1 September, 1939 - the Americans entered the war in Europe (after Pearl Harbour, the Germans joined Japan in declaring war on America). The first American forces arrived in Europe on 26 January, 1942.

∙ 12y agoSpecifically America got involved in the wars due mostly to money. They signed the Lend-Lease act which gave them billions from selling weapons... No body wanted to fight a war in Europe, those who did were silenced, however the Presidents pushed the civilians to fight... Everybody saw what the Germans could do to France and Britain, why would America suffer too? Also considering 17% of the white population in America is German, it's not surprising why...
