German U-boat attacks killed U.S. citizens.

Woodrow Wilson's opinion about entering World War I shifted primarily due to Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, which threatened American lives and commerce. The sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 and subsequent attacks on American ships heightened public outcry and pushed Wilson to reconsider his stance on neutrality. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, which revealed Germany's proposal to Mexico for a military alliance against the U.S., further galvanized support for entering the war. Ultimately, these factors compelled Wilson to advocate for U.S. involvement in the conflict in 1917.
Americans were angry German U-boats had Killed U.S. citizens. -APEX ;)
America entered WW1 because the Germans sank lusitania, a ship containing civilians. EDIT: That is only one of three reasons, and one of the two that history books in America mention. The other in the books is the Zimmermann telegram, a message sent from Germany's foreign minister to the Mexican government, promised Mexico German support if Mexico invaded America to take back the land they lost in the Mexican-American War. The British intercepted that message and sent it to Wilson and Congress and it infruiated them. The one that isn't in the books is the Allied debt to America. The Allied Forces borrowed money for the war from America and if they lost, America might not get that money back. The reason it isn't in the American text books is simply that it doesn't make America as noble as the others.
Fact means something that is definite and unchanging. Opinion is what someone feels about something. It is a fact that Obama is the president. It is my opinion that he is ruining this country. It is a fact that the sky is blue when there are no clouds. It is my opinion that we should have more sunny days.
A fact is something that can be tested and proven to be true.An opinion is something that a person thinks or believes , but which cannot be fully proven. Others may hold a different opinion.
