You left out WWI....Wilhelm of Germany had no beef with the US...the Lusitania notwithstanding. He really had no beef with the British Empire, hell, his first cousin was the King of England....not even sure he really wanted to get involved with the French. Point is, we really had nothing to merit our involvement in Europe at that time
We did have an interest in WWI. Wilhelm was stupid to sink the Lusitania and to send the Zimmerman telegraph. Prior to that Wilson was bound and determined to stay out of that war.
So unlike the post WWII conflicts our interest were clear in WWI. The Germans were attacking Americans at sea and conspiring to wage war with the Americans.

The Lusitania, and other civilian ships, were secretly shipping weapons to England. We were actively aiding Germany's enemy which made us their enemy. They weren't just randomly sinking civilian ships, they knew about the weapons shipments. It was a really stupid move on the part of the US, similar to how Isis hides behind hospitals and schools.
