1 answer
The events that led to the United States entering World War I included Germany's use of unrestricted submarine warfare, which resulted in the sinking of American ships, such as the Lusitania. Additionally, the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the US, further angered the American public. President Woodrow Wilson's push for a "peace without victory" ultimately failed, and the US declared war on Germany in April 1917. These factors collectively prompted the United States to join the conflict.
