The US didn't want to get involved in WW1, because many of it's citizens are from Germany, because it was a reasonably new Country, however, the sinking of the Luisitania, which killed 250 American citizens by the German U-boats (submarines) angerer America, then, Germany sent a telegram to Mexico, telling them to take Texas back and fight America if the US opposes Germany, this gave America an excuse to attack Germany.

-Germany's autocratic government did not please democratic Americans.

-German interests appeared to clash with U.S interests

Because of Propaganda by FDR to tilt public opinion, which was about 50/50 between neutral & allied.

Actually, WWI was before FDR's time.... it was mostly just a very successful propaganda campaign by the British. It's been said that the Germans had to live down this propaganda in WWI, but in WWII; they lived up to it.
