The U.S. entered World War I because Germany embarked on a deadly gamble. Germany sank many American merchant ships around the British Isles which prompted the American entry into the war.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

In early 1917 Berlin forced the issue. Its declared decision on 31 January 1917 to target neutral shipping in a designated war-zone became the immediate cause of the entry of the United States into the war. Five American merchant ships went down in March.

Wilson cited Germany's violation of its pledge to suspend unrestricted submarine warfare in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean, as well as its attempts to entice Mexico into an alliance against the United States, as his reasons for declaring war.

What German actions led the United States to enter World War I? The U.S. entered World War I on April 6, 1917, after Germany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare seriously threatened America's commercial shipping. The U.S. originally pursued a policy of non-intervention.
