The United States entered World War I in 1917 because of several reasons. One of the main reasons was Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, which threatened American lives and interests. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed an alliance with Mexico against the US, further pushed the US towards joining the war on the side of the Allies.
