Although the U.S. was not prepared to enter the war, the American government mobilized quickly to rally the troops and the civilians behind the war effort. In April 17, the U.S. Army contained just over 0ne-hundred thousand men and by the end of the war it consisted of about five million. The arrival of the U.S. troops gave the allies the manpower they needed to win the war.

It officially drew us into World War II.  Just days after the Japanese attack on the Pacific Fleet Germany and Italy declared war on the United States drawing us into both theaters of the conflict.  On December 7, 1941 our Pacific Fleet was all but destroyed by the Japanese sneak attack.  This left us vulnerable in the Pacific and very much on the defensive for the first few months of the war.  We overcame these early obstacles, yet it still took nearly a full 4 years to bring the war to an end.

In World War I, the six major powers were set against each other. At the time, the US was an isolationist (which means that we didn't want to get involved in European affairs) There was a lot of nationalism in the countries, and each country built up their armies. Russia, France, and Britain against Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Noone expected it to cause as many causualties as it did, but since each nation was so powerful, it did. The troops were in trenches, (trench warfare) for several years. At the time, they had machine guns, and the only way to advance was to cross the area between the trenches called "No man's land" When they crossed no man's land, they were mowed down with machine guns. So the generals, instead of looking for other methods, chose instead to send more troops, causing more casualties.

Here is a summary...but I assure you there are great resources online:\n\n At the start of the war, President Wilson had declared the neutrality of the United States. Most Americans opposed US involvement in the European war. But the sinking of the Lusitania and other German actions against civilians drew America sympathies to the Allies. German military leaders believed that they could still win the war by cutting off British supplies. They expected their U-boats to starve Britain into surrendering within a few months, longer before the US had fully prepared for war. Tension between the US and Germany increased after the British intercepted and decoded a message from Germany's foreign minister, Arthur Zimmermann, the German ambassador to Mexico. The message known as the "Zimmermann note", revealed a German plot to persuade Mexico to go to war against the United States. The British gave the message to Wilson, and it was published in the US early in March. Americans were further enraged after U-boats sank several US cargo ships.

As a result of WWI, Germany got trampled politically and economically.  Germany was forced to pay huge monetary remunerations since it was blamed for causing WWI.  Internally their money was undervalued and inflation was rampant.  One of the parties trying to gain control in the government was the Nazi party.  Hitler came to power in I believe 1933 with promises of a better quality of life, prosperity and (a big factor) a plan to regain Germany's status on the world stage.  He violated conditions set down in the Treaty of Versailles of June 28, 1919.  He built up the military beyond the treaty's limits i.e. built ships bigger than allowed, more tanks than were allowed, planes, etc.\n  Also, he had the idea that someone had to be blamed for the general poverty of the populace.  This was deemed the "Jewish problem".\n    The possible precursor to WWII was his being given the "Sudetenland" in Czechoslovakia.  Instead of the rest of Europe standing up to his aggressive invasion plans, it was thought if he was given some land he'd be happy and go back to his trampled nation.  Well, as we all know, that didn't happen.

It seperated some aspects of them . The U.S's primary goal at this point was to gain more allies. Because of the power around them caused by communism , this became more difficult by the day.  So, it made those who wanted to be on their own strive to do so.  The war gave Europe more seperated than they already were. With Germany's hostility towards the U.S made it hard and had been one of the main causes if not the main cause of WWII . This hostility eventually spread causing a Nazi rebellion . This was all because of the Treaty of Versailles .  The treaty was made so that reparations could be paid. These reperations or war fines had to be paid by Germany .

Communism would be the main cause of U.S.'s entrance into WWII, as a result of Hitler's growing power in Europe.

After WWI, the Allies decided that they were going to punish Germany for causing WWI.  The fact that Germany was no more at fault than France or England was not an issue.  Germany was severely punished, and the result was the rise of Hitler, which consequently lead to WWII.\n\nAfter WWII, the US wanted to avoid another war, and they had learned the hard way that keeping the loser down was not a good idea.  Rebuilding Japan (and Germany) was the best way to ensure future security and hopefully cooperation between the two nations.

WWI began in 1914.  Germany is regarded as the primary agressor, but nationalist sentiments played a big role in all European countries, and there was great enthusiasm for the war on all sides.  Germany was allied with Austria-Hungary and Turkey (then known as the Ottoman Empire) against Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and later the United States (Japan also made small contributions on the allied side in order to seize German overseas posessions).  The U.S. entered in 1917, after Germany adopted a policy of unresctricted submarine warfare which was striking at U.S. shipping interests (including the supply of munitions to Britain) and inflicting civilian casualties.  The war ended on November 11th 1918. The uneasy peace which followed set the stage for all the major 20th century problems, from WWII, to the rise of communism, to the Balkan Wars, to the current tensions in the middle east. Bummer.

FDR wanted to enter the war to aide Allied forces and the only way to enter the war was to provoke Japan into involving the U.S. He did not know the exact time and location of the attack but he knew the general time and that it would be coming somewhere in the Pacific. He was also aware that by pushing Japan into a corner they had no choice but to retaliate against the U.S.

If this is about President Woodrow Wilson, then you're talking about how he acted toward World War 1 before the united states entered it. Wilson believed that the US could remain neutral, and not take part in it. However, german subs began sinking american ships, and British ships began capturing US vessels, which led to the US entering the war.

I believe the leaders of the countries had a pretty good idea who was going to line up with who, however as many of these treaties were secret most people did not know who was aligned with who, only the leaders had a clue.  America did not enter the war that started in 1914 until 1917 so I am not sure if anybody ever counted on our participation.  Germany tried to urge Mexico into becoming their ally to keep the U.S. out of the European Theater and have us fighting at home to gain an edge.  This failed and we fought in Europe separate from other troops that were already there.  The war ended in November of 1918.
