What action caused the US to become involved in world war 1?
There were many reasons that had a hand in pulling the US into WW1. In 1915 Germany attacked the US ship Lusitania, and many people were mad about that.

Finally the US found about the Zimmerman Program between Germany and Mexico, which was basically Germany trying to convince Mexico to attack the US. This was the final push for the US to enter WW1 in 1917.
