It was part of George Washington's Neutrality Proclamation.
Up until America's entry into this war, the American people had followed the wise advice of President George Washington given in his farewell address, delivered to the nation on September 17, 1796. President Washington said "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world. Why by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humour or caprice?
When Adolf Hitler of the Nazi Germans ordered his military forces to invade and bomb Poland in September 1939 that started World War 2. At that time no one knew this would result in a world war so no one said, "Start World War 2". I think Hitler probably knew very well what he was doing, and knew that the invasion of Poland would cause world war. It was clear enough.

Britain, France, Russia & the US are common to the Allies in both WW1 & WW2. They are opposed by Germany in both wars. In WW1 Italy & Japan were both on the side of the Allies, in WW2 they were on Germanys' side. Turkey was on the side of Germany in WW1 & Neutral in WW2. Austria/Hungary was on the side of Germany in WW1 & were also on Germanys' side in WW2, (although it might be said by force rather than choice.) although they were then 2 separate countries.

US President George Washington warned the US to avoid making alliances with foreign countries. At the time, few could disagree with that policy.
We must consult Brother Jonathan. It is our true policy to steer clear of any permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world. And the famous one, which he may or may not have said: Father, I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my little hatchet.
He said "YOU WORK FOR ME NOW!"
