The United States entered World War I primarily due to several factors, including unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany, which threatened American lives and commerce, exemplified by the sinking of the Lusitania. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the U.S., heightened tensions. Economic ties to the Allies, particularly through loans and trade, also motivated the U.S. to support their cause. Ultimately, these factors combined led President Woodrow Wilson to seek a declaration of war in April 1917.
