Best Answer

Three distinct things:

1. The German sinking of the British ocean liner Lusitania, which killed 128 Americans.

2. The German Foreign Minister, Zimmermann, sent a message to Mexico promising German aid for an invasion of the US. The British intercepted the message and sent it to the US.

3. If the Allies lost, they wouldn't be able to pay back the money they borrowed from America.
