The US entered into WWI as the result of unrestricted German submarine attacks on civilian cruise liners. The most famous of these is when a German U-Boat attacked and sunk the luxury liner the Luisitania (sister ship of the Titanic) killing hundreds of American, British, and Irish civilians. Furthermore, the interception and decoding of the Zimmerman Telegram by British intelligence revealed to the US a German plot to subdue American forces by bringing Mexico into the war as well, thus allowing the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare. As a result of these aggressive maneuvers, the US government decided to change their stance from neutral, soon after declared war on Germany and the other cental powers.
