Best Answer

I'm assuming that you are asking why we entered World War 1. The overarching reason was because of the Germans' sinking a British Ocean Liner, the Lusitania. The Lusitania was a "neutral ship" that had American passengers on it. We were already tense with Germany after we found a note from the Germans to Mexico asking them to declare an alliance against the US. This was called the Zimmerman Telegram, which was intercepted and published by us.
