U.S. participation in World War I was primarily triggered by several events, including the sinking of the RMS Lusitania by a German U-boat in 1915, which killed 128 Americans. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram in early 1917, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the U.S., incited public outrage. Economic ties to the Allies and the desire to protect democracy also played crucial roles in shifting public opinion and political will toward intervention. Ultimately, these factors led President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war on April 2, 1917.
The United States' participation in World War I was primarily triggered by a combination of factors, including unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany, which resulted in the sinking of civilian ships like the Lusitania, and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the US. These events, alongside growing economic ties to the Allies and a desire to protect American interests, ultimately swayed public opinion and led President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war in April 1917.
American participation in World War I began in April 1917 when the U.S. declared war on Germany, motivated by factors such as unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram. The American Expeditionary Forces, led by General John J. Pershing, played a crucial role in several key battles, contributing to the Allied victory. By the war's end in November 1918, about 2 million American troops had served in Europe, significantly boosting Allied morale and resources. The U.S. involvement marked a shift in its foreign policy, establishing it as a key player on the global stage.

I think it was Mussolini. Don't just think - it WAS Benito Mussolini who led Italy into and throughout its disastrous participation in the war.

Imperialism (the desire to build a large empire)
Nations started forming alliances, building up their armies, and finally the war was started by Archduke Ferdinand's assassination
The Bolshevik Revolution, also known as the October Revolution, effectively ended Russia's participation in World War I. Occurring in October 1917, it led to the overthrow of the Provisional Government and the establishment of a communist regime. Subsequently, the new government signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany in March 1918, formally withdrawing Russia from the war.
The sinking of the Lusitania ( a ship which had 4 American's on board), and the Zimmerman telegraph to Mexico (which was intercepted requesting Mexico's participation in attacking the US), convinced the powers that be to take part in the war.
Napoleon was finally defeated in 1815, at the Battle of Waterloo. The allied forces was led by the 1st Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley.
the french led Britain through world war 1 much of the time that the war was going on. THIS IS A FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Italy.Italy had Benito Mussolini as their dictator until they finally nabbed him and killed him and his wife.
There was never a world war 3, and hopefully there never will be.
The instant cause that led to World War I is the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Other things that led to the war is a four year conflict between the great European powers.
