The volcano erupted due to it lying on a destructive plate boundary, where the denser North American Plate, was sinking underneath the less dense Caribbean Plate causing a subduction zone. Due to the sinking of the North American Plate into the mantle, magma started to rise to which caused the volcano to erupt.

Why did the Yellowstone volcano erupt?
It will erupt for the same reason that all volcanoes erupt: magma is collecting in the magma chamber and pressure is increasing. This will eventually reach a breaking point and result in an eruption. The chances of that occuring in our lifetimes however, are very small.
