The United States entered World War I primarily due to the unrestricted submarine warfare practiced by Germany, which threatened American lives and commerce. The interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the U.S., further inflamed public opinion. Additionally, the sinking of ships like the Lusitania, which killed American passengers, galvanized support for entering the war. Ultimately, these events led to President Woodrow Wilson asking Congress to declare war on Germany in April 1917.

During The American Civil War, Northern states were called The Union as they remained in The UnitedStates of America.
The main event that triggered America's entry into World War II was the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7, 1941. This attack led to significant losses for the U.S. Pacific Fleet and galvanized public support for entering the war. The following day, December 8, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his famous "Day of Infamy" speech, and Congress declared war on Japan, marking the official entry of the United States into the conflict.
One significant event that contributed to America's entry into World War I was the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in May 1915 by a German U-boat, which resulted in the deaths of 128 American passengers. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram in early 1917, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States, further inflamed American public opinion against Germany. These incidents, combined with ongoing unrestricted submarine warfare, ultimately led to the U.S. declaring war on Germany in April 1917.

In general, the trigger event is the event that causes something to happen. For example, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Australia on June 28th, 1914 in Sarajevo is said to have triggered the 1914-1918 World War. In technology, a trigger event might start recording a sequence of measurements with an oscilloscope, logic analyzer or similar instrument. Each such instrument defines a range of possible trigger events. For example, an oscilloscope may trigger at a sudden change in the signal level of one of the monitored signals, a logic analyzer might trigger with the occurrence of a certain pattern on a number of monitored signals, etc.
