Because the US had already fought WW1 in Europe only 20 years earlier. The US thought that the Europeans had learned how to manage their governments by this time.

The US was also trying to respond economically to the Japanese expansion in China and the South Pacific (which was what eventually brought the country into the war following Pearl Harbor). This concern also added to the reluctance to commit US troops to Europe.

Compare and contrast the American reactions to World War 1 and World War 2?

Both wars America didnt want anything to do with. at first. it cost to much money to go to war plus they had previously sworn they wouldn't get cought up in European affairs. so they were trying to stay out of both wars. one war they joined in on because German u boats were bombing their ships for no reason killing many innocent Americans. the other war they joined because the japenese bombed pearl harbor. but in the beginning, American reactions to the wars were neutral because thay didnt want to get involved.


What did the US bring to World War 1 when they entered?

People want to believe the US sent a large amount of troops who were well trained at the beginning of World War 1. That is a myth. There were only a small number who arrived in France and they were not ready for any battle of any type. They had to be trained while they were in France. Other soldiers joined them later in the hundreds of thousands and they were better trained. They did not bring any upgraded or updated weaponry with them at the beginning of the war too.
