Why didn't the United states want to join axis powers?

The United States did not want to join the Axis Powers primarily due to its commitment to democracy and opposition to fascism, which characterized the regimes of Germany, Italy, and Japan. Additionally, many Americans were isolationist, believing that involvement in foreign conflicts would lead to unnecessary loss of life and resources. The attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 ultimately shifted public opinion, leading to active U.S. involvement in World War II against the Axis Powers.
