The U.S. sought to remain neutral during the early years of World War I and World War II to protect its economic interests and avoid the high costs of involvement in foreign conflicts. Many Americans held isolationist sentiments, believing that the country should focus on domestic issues rather than entanglements abroad. Additionally, the trauma of previous wars made the public wary of entering into another conflict. Ultimately, neutrality aimed to maintain peace while allowing the U.S. to continue trading with all nations involved.
