Best Answer

There are many answers to this, not the least of which is that the U.S. did not wish to War, and did not believe it was ready for a war. Woodrow Wilson, the President, was an isolationist, and did not believe our cause would be served by getting involved in the war. In fact, he was re-elected on the slogan, "He kept us out of war".

Did any country attack the US before you joined World War 1?

No country attacked the US before they joined WW1, but the US's allies such as France and Britain were attacked and at war with Germany, so the US decided to support their allies and join the war. The sinking of the British/ American ship "The Lusitania" was a trigger for the US to join the war.


Was it a good idea for US to join world war 2?

Yes, because our allies were getting badly attacked, and if we didn't help them, later on in another war, our allies wouldn't help us. And secondly, the Japanese bombed us, so that gave the United States a good reason to join WWII.


The allies used this to convince the United States to enter the war telling the United States that they will be taken over if they don't help?

The Zimmernman (sp?) note. It is the note from Germany to Mexico saying that Mexico should join the Germans and take over the US. It was intercepted by the allies and informed the US, thereby causing the US to enter WWI.
