Other factors that contributed to the US entry into the war include:

The economic ties between the US and the Allied powers, which made it difficult for the US to remain neutral.

The Lusitania incident was an important event, but Professor MacMillan and many historians believe that the US joining World War I happened for many reasons, not just one event. Some of these reasons include:
1. Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, which attacked not only military ships but also merchant and passenger ships, like the Lusitania.
2. The Zimmerman Telegram, which suggested that Germany and Mexico team up, and if the US joined the war against Germany, Mexico would get some US land back.
3. The strong economic connections between the US and the Allied countries, making it hard for the US to stay neutral.
4. The propaganda from the Allied powers, which made Germany look very bad.
