Answer: The United States wasn't interested in an European conflict first and in the internal affairs the isolationist were stronger. The casus belli was the sank of the Lusitania by a German U-20 sub (Of the 197 Americans on board, 128 lost their lives.). But the main reason is The United States had close economic and political ties to Great Britain.
