The primary reasons for U.S. neutrality in World War I were rooted in President Woodrow Wilson's policy of isolationism and his desire to keep the United States out of European conflicts. Additionally, the U.S. had strong economic ties with both the Allied and Central Powers, making it difficult to choose a side without risking economic repercussions. The sinking of the Lusitania by a German U-boat in 1915 and the Zimmermann Telegram in 1917 were key events that eventually pushed the U.S. to enter the war on the side of the Allies.

The general public wanted to go to war, but the government wanted to remain isolationists and stay out of direct combat.
