The United States had to declare War on Germany and its allies because of what the telegram had from Arthur Zimmermann, the minister of Germany, to Von Eckhardt, the minster of Mexico, that if Mexico were to join Alliances they would help Mexico get back what The United States took from them during the Mexican-American War. The States that The Untied States Won From Mexico were Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.

It was a telegram by Germany which wanted Mexico to enter the war on the German side. British radio interceptors intercepted the telegram and showed it to the Americans. America's government was infuriated by the attempt and immediately declared war on Germany

Why did the zimmermann telegram push the US toward war?

The Zimmerman telegram was a message sent from Germany to Mexico. As Germany recognized the potential threat of the United States, the Germans insisted Mexico to invade the United States and help support Germany, and in return, they would give Mexico land that the Mexicans lost from the Mexican-American War (Arizona, New Mexico, California, etc.). It seemed like a smart move, unfortunately, the British intercepted this message and made it public to the United States, which was one of the major causes of American intervention in World War I.
