Answer:

The gradual German aggression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main reason was due to German unrestricted submarine warfare and events like the sinking of the Lusitania. Germany had also sent a telegram to Mexico to exchange a military alliance. British propaganda had been advocated in the US as well showing the war crimes that the Germans committed in Belgium. This forced the US to intervene as the war was at a stalemate.
