Answer:

The United states desperately tried to remain neutral in WW1, however their alliance to Britian and the U.S ties to helping British propaganda were a problem. U.S trade ships carrying military equipment or not were sunk in a German U-Boat blockade, Germany also sent the Zimmermann telegraph which called for Mexico to go to war against the United States. However the U.S intercepted this telegraph and got a heads up on what might've happened.

(Mexico declined as they were in a civil war and Germany's promise of financial support were probably too good to be true)

-this is not a complete answer these are just reasons the U.S got involved-

Thanks!
