The Confederates burned Richmond as President Davis and his cabinet fled to make sure the Union Army could not use Confederate resources.
During the American Civil War, Richmond became the capital of the Confederate States of America.
On April 2, 1865, more than 25% of the buildings in the city were destroyed by fire after the withdrawal of the Confederate soldiers, who burned all the Confederate resources to make them unusable for the Union.
On April 3, 1865, Ulysses S. Grant and the Union Army captured Richmond, and the state capital was then transferred to Lynchburg. The Army of North Virginia, commanded by Robert Lee retired and surrendered six days later before Grant in the Appomattox Court House, becoming the symbolic end of the war.

This question can refer to numerous wars. Here is a list of different wars you may be referring to:
1) World War I- The US abandon the policy of neutrality for multiple reasons. One of them was the German's use of unrestricted submarine warfare on ships containing American goods and citizens. The German's sank a British passenger ship, the Lusitania, that contained over 100 American citizens. These citizens were killed in this attack. Along with this, the United States also learned about Germany's attempt to make a secret alliance with Mexico in which Mexico would invade the US to prevent them from helping the Allied Powers. The US found out about this through the interception of the Zimmerman Telegram by the British. These two factors caused America to enter World War I.
2) World War II- The United States entered World War II after the Japanese military bombed the US military base called Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
