the U.S didn't remain neutral because Germany U-boat torpeded U.S neutral civilian ships like the lusitania.This had cause the United States to enter war

Please note that only 16 Americans died on these ships, and all of the ships were carrying arms and ammunition for Great Britain. You have to ask yourself: what was the REAL reason?

Despite the United States declaration of neutrality in World War I, it became impossible. Germany had sealed off entry to Britain and declared unrestricted warfare on any ships which tried to pass. Britain was a major trading partner to the United States and several U.S. ships were damaged or sunk trying to get through. This led to the United States entering the war.

The United States had difficulty remaining neutral during World War I because of eagerness on the part of many Americans to provide aid to the nations of Britain and France. Even more, the aggressive submarine campaign of Imperial Germany led to the loss of American lives and goods well before American finally entered the war.
