Answer:

The Zimmerman Note and Germany's unrestrcited submarine warfare.

Step-by-step explanation:

On April 2, President Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany specifically citing Germany's renewed submarine policy as “a war against mankind. It is a war against all nations.” He also spoke about German spying inside the U.S. and the treachery of the Zimmermann Telegram.
