Explanation:

Isolationist views and feelings have always been strong along the history of the United States since its foundation. The American public has usually been reluctant to get the country involved in foreign wars, in conflicts they didn´t understood or where they saw no business for the USA. 1914 was not an exception. Public mood changed after the sinking of the British liner Lusitania by a German U-boat in 1915; over 100 American lives were lost. Besides, Americans reacted with anger after the news of a German secret offer to Mexico to help it recover territory ceded to the USA in 1848  spread (the Zimmerman Telegram).
