Why did German threat to sink all ships in British waters push the US to declare war?
This question was put into the categories of World War 1 and World War 2.
The answer is that the US did not declare war in either war for the reason that the Germans threatened to sink all ships in British waters.
World War 1: President Wilson chose to declare war on Germany in World War 1 when he learned from the Mexican Government that the Germans wanted to attack the US through the US borders and Gulf of Mexico.
World War 2: President Roosevelt declared war after the Japanese bombed the US Naval ships and planes in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. They became officially involved in the European Theater of Operation once Hitler declared war on the USA.

Where was the british navel blockade of Germany?
The British blockade of Germany was unusual, a first-of-its-kind in the history of warfare. Traditionally, blockading ships remained at sea just outside enemy ports to attack any ship coming in or going out. In WW1 the Royal Navy, while frequently patrolling the North Sea that separated Great Britain from German ports, remained in port most of the time. The mere existence of the powerful British fleet and its proximity kept the German High Seas Fleet at home. Also, the Royal Navy had broken German codes and therefore knew when the German were coming out. The Royal Navy also heavily mined international waters to prevent shipping from reaching Germany
Reasons not to go to ww1?
The reason the US entered the war was because of the sinking of an British passenger ship full of American civilians in international waters, the Lusitania. Problem is, the Lusitania was not just a passenger ship. It was filled with munitions headed for Britain, was also under instructions from the British Admiralty to report the sighting of any German submarines, and was also under instructions from the British Admiralty to resist any attempts by the German navy to board and inspect her for war material. Thus, according to international law, the Lusitania was a ship of war and a legitimate military target. The German government even took out ads in American newspapers warning Americans of this fact and that they would have no choice to sink the ship, even if there were civilians on board.
