The U.S. abandoned its neutrality and entered World War I largely due to unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany, which threatened American lives and commercial interests. The sinking of ships like the Lusitania, coupled with the interception of the Zimmerman Telegram—where Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the U.S.— galvanized public opinion for war. Additionally, economic ties and loans to the Allies created a vested interest in their victory. Ultimately, these factors compelled the U.S. to join the conflict on the side of the Allies in April 1917.
Great Britain was part of the Allies during World War I, opposing the Central Powers. The Allies primarily included nations like France, Russia, and later the United States, among others. Great Britain entered the war in 1914 primarily to support Belgium's neutrality and to counter the threat posed by Germany and its allies.

The sinking of ships like the Lusitania and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, which proposed a German-Mexican alliance against the U.S., further fueled public and political support for joining the Allies. Additionally, there was a desire to protect American economic interests and promote democratic values against autocratic regimes. These factors combined ultimately led President Woodrow Wilson to seek a declaration of war against Germany.
