There are multiple reasons why America entered the war in 1917.
In 1915, the Lusitania sank after being torpedoed by German submarines. 128 Americans aboard were killed.
In early 1917, Germany's foreign minister sent a telegram to Mexico promising German aid if Mexico would invade America. The offer was meant to keep America out of Europe, but Britain intercepted it and sent it to America.
The German policy of Unrestricted Submarine Warfare was a threat to American shipping. The Germans would sink any vessel they thought was headed for the Allied Powers or their colonies. The submarines flooding the Atlantic also threatened US port cities, leading to the rearmament of the system of forts built in the mid-1800s as well as the construction of new ones. That would cost more and more money as the war raged on.
And, if the Allied Powers lost, they would be unable to pay back the money America had given them as credit to buy US-manufactured supplies.
