The U.S. was compelled to enter World War I primarily due to unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany, which threatened American lives and commerce. The sinking of ships like the Lusitania, combined with the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, which proposed a military alliance between Germany and Mexico against the U.S., galvanized public and political support for war. These actions, along with a desire to protect democracy and maintain global stability, ultimately led Congress to declare war on Germany in April 1917.
