In World War 1, the Germans kept sinking the American cargo ships that were neutral, so eventually the president had had enough and went to war.

EDIT -> The German's used Unrestricted Submarine Warfare, which sunk the Lusitania. The United States let it go the first time, asking them to stop using USW, not wanting to get involved in WWI. However, as the war started to turn against Germany, they started using it again. This is another reason the U.S. joined the war.

In World War 2, the U.S. joined the war because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
