April 1917 President Wilson asked congress to approve a declaration of War. The United States decision to enter the war had a great deal to do with the sudden change in German Military strategy. In January of 1917 the German's resumed the practice of Unrestricted Submarine Warfare. In the first weeks of March Germany sunk 5 unarmed US merchant ships. Previously in 1916, after Germany sank the Sussex a US merchant ship, the US threatened to enter the war, and Germany backed down. They promised not to sink merchant or passenger ships without warning. They kept this promise until 1917. Other immediate causes for US entering the war are the 1) Zimmerman Telegram (intercepted by British intelligence a note between Germany and Mexico proposing that the two countries align) and 2) the Russian Revolution.
