America joined the Great War, or World War I, primarily due to several factors, including unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany, which threatened American commercial shipping and led to the sinking of ships like the Lusitania. The interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the U.S., also fueled public outrage. Additionally, there was a growing sentiment to support the Allies, particularly Britain and France, in their struggle against German aggression. These factors combined to shift public opinion and political will towards entering the conflict in April 1917.
