will do my best but as i know the key in WWI for America to join was having a secret coded message intercepted and finding out this said pretty much for Mexico to attack America from the south so they would be distracted in their own war away from Europe so they did not join the triple Entente so all and all that is a key cause to why America joined in to the war
The US abandoned it's strict neutrality position in the late 1930s due to Hitler's rise to power. World War II was gearing up, and the US needed to step in to help keep the Axis powers from winning the war.
The sinking of the LUSITANIA is what first caused the U.S. to join this disastrous of all wars, and
Isolationism and neutrality.
The U.S. Neutrality Acts of the 1930s were designed to prevent the nation from becoming entangled in foreign conflicts and wars, particularly in Europe and Asia. They aimed to maintain American neutrality by restricting arms sales and financial assistance to warring nations. The Acts reflected a widespread isolationist sentiment in the U.S. during that period, driven by the desire to avoid the consequences of World War I. Ultimately, they sought to protect American interests and prevent the loss of American lives in overseas conflicts.
Between 1935 and 1941, America gradually shifted from neutrality through several key steps. The Neutrality Acts of the 1930s aimed to prevent U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts but were increasingly challenged by the rise of fascism in Europe. The 1939 revision allowed for "cash and carry" provisions, enabling the sale of arms to allies while maintaining a semblance of neutrality. By 1941, the Lend-Lease Act marked a significant departure, allowing the U.S. to supply military aid to Allied nations, solidifying America's role in the impending conflict of World War II.

Different nations had different specific reasons, but in general neutrality was based on a decision to avoid subjecting the population to war.
Neutrality and Isolationism were the American policies when World War I began. They kept the country out of the fighting, but it did not impede the sale of US goods to nations involved in the war.
President Woodrow Wilson initially favored neutrality and staying out of World War I, but shifted his stance when German actions threatened American lives and interests. He advocated for entering the war to make the world "safe for democracy" and promote peace through the creation of the League of Nations. Wilson's principles clashed with isolationist sentiments in the US, leading to debates over America's role in global affairs.
From 1939 to 1941, the United States maintained a policy of neutrality at the outset of World War II, officially avoiding direct involvement in the conflict. However, this neutrality was complicated by actions such as the Lend-Lease Act in 1941, which provided military aid to Allied nations like Britain and China. Additionally, events such as the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 ultimately prompted the U.S. to enter the war, marking the end of its neutrality. Thus, while the U.S. was officially neutral during this period, its actions increasingly aligned with the Allies.
