The reason why the Americans wanted to remain neutral and not take sides in the growing conflicts in Europe is because we simply didn't want to get in war that isn't our fight neither want to send troops to Europe and fight over there and waist tax payers money instead use it and others ways. Its like two people arguing because usually people let the other two argue and dont interfere because they dont want to get caught up in it and its not their problem.
There were a few reasons, the president Wilson declarated a political of neutrality, the united states would not entangle itself with aliances with other nations. the EUA do not want alliance with Europe and stayed out of the war.
