President Woodrow Wilson was prompted to bring the U.S. into World War I primarily due to unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany, which threatened American lives and commerce. The sinking of ships like the Lusitania and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed an alliance with Mexico against the U.S., further galvanized public opinion for war. Wilson also aimed to make the world "safe for democracy," believing that American involvement could help shape a post-war order based on democratic ideals.
