Germany had sunk the Lusitania, which was a British liner carrying 128 American citizens, who all died. They also sunk many other merchant ships.

Then Germany attempted to get Mexico to turn on the United States by sending them the Zimmerman note. This note was intercepted and sent to the U.S. The U.S. got increasingly angry at Germany, and President Woodrow Wilson asked for a declaration of war against Germany from Congress.
