What policy was Woodrow Wilson promoting about the war in Europe?
Throughout most of his first term in office (1913-1917), he advocated neutrality. This changed in 1916 as Americans were being killed by German submarine warfare. But Wilson was still popularly perceived as being against US involvement in World War I, and it was only after his re-election that he moved closer to advocating war.
Why did submarine warfare push the US into World War 1?
The German government announced unrestricted submarine warfare against ANY ship sailing into Allied waters would be subject to surprise attack. Along with the German sabotage of Black Tom island powder magazine in 1916, the sinking of the Lusitania with American citizens onboard, and the Zimmerman telegram (German foreign secretary) that encouraged Mexico to ally with Germany and Mexico would win bad the former Mexican territory in the US South West, lead President Wilson to call for war. There were additional reasons, but I feel these were the Big Four.U Boats were causing havoc on the trade routes between the US and Europe by destroying merchant ships. One of the biggest factors was the sinking of the Ocean Liner "Lusitania" by German UBoats, of the 139 US Citizens on board 128 were killed. Also, when Germany began a Submarine Campaign against Britain President Wilson had previously stated he would hold Germany responsible if that were to occur.

What was Woodrow Wilson's reaction to the German submarine warfare campaign?
When the Germans, declared unrestricted submarine warfare, the US issued a sharp protest to this policy, saying that it was an indefensible violation of neutral rights, and threatened to hold Germany accountable. After many German offenses in the seas, Wilson threatened to break off diplomatic relations with Germany unless it abandoned its methods of submarine warfare. Wilson won a temporary victory when the Germans said that they would visit all vessels prior to attack. However, this crisis prompted Wilson to begin preparing for war (preparedness campaign). Finally when the Germans decided to declared unlimited submarine warfare on all shipping in 1917, it was impossible for Wilson to maintain US neutrality and the freedom of the seas. Thus, Wilson broke off all diplomatic relations with Germany and called on Congress to approve the arming of US merchant ships.

Why did the US into World War 1?
The tensions were heightened when in 1915, the British passenger liner the Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine, killing 128 Americans. Then came the German sabotage with the Black Tom explosion of ammunitions, and the Kingsland Explosion, a shell manufacturer. The Germans thought this would hamper the U.S. in joining the war effort. All this time, Wilson was trying to use diplomacy, but that had failed miserably. Wilson's isolationist tendencies finally came to an end and the U.S. entered the war after Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917. This is the very, very short version.
What did speed up the entrance to World War 1?
For the US, what sped up its entry into World War One was the German declaration that unrestricted submarine warfare was going to begin again. This meant that US ships traveling back and forth from Europe or basically anywhere would be sunk by German Submarines. This German policy basically forced the US under Woodrow Wilson to enter the war in 1917.
