America had attempted to maintain neutrality when World War I began. However, it found Germany to be constantly violating that neutrality by attacking American ships, and ships that carried American citizens. Although Germany apologized, the attacks continued. Finally, a German transmission sent to the Mexican government, attempting to persuade them to attack the United Sates was intercepted by the British and given to the United States. The United States immediately declared war on Germany.
