Why did the US want to help out their allies in World War II

The United States entered the war primarily as a result of German U-boats (submarines) sinking unarmed ships in the Atlantic. Germany was well aware that doing so would risk dragging the United States into the conflict, but it believed it could defeat the Allies before American troops or warships were ready. This assistance aided the Allies in their victory.
