What happened to increase tension between the US and Germany in early 1917?

In early 1917, tensions between the US and Germany escalated primarily due to Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, which threatened American shipping and lives. The sinking of ships like the Lusitania in 1915 had already heightened public sentiment against Germany, but the resumption of such tactics in early 1917 provoked outrage in the US. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the US, further inflamed relations and pushed America closer to entering World War I.

Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram in 1917, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the U.S., further inflamed public opinion. Economic ties to the Allies, particularly through loans and trade, also played a significant role in pushing the U.S. to enter the conflict.
