World War 1: Why did the Untied States enter WW1?

   The U.S entered World War 1 because they were mad, mad i tell you, mad! Its all because of German agression towards America. Germans were killing innocent Americans, the Zimmermann Note, and unrestricted warfare were all signs of agression from Germany which caused U.S to finally retalliate.

   Germany killed several Americans. The sinking of the Sussex killed/harmed 325 Americans in 1916. The torpedoing of the Lusitania killed/ harmes 128 passengers.. The thing about these attacks were that the German torpedoed ships without warning. Americans were angry that they had their peeople dying in ship recks that were not even caused by their own country.

   The Zimmermann Note was another example of German agression. Within this document it sugesst that Germany becomes allies with Mexico which as we know is close to the Untied States. This was Germany's way to gain control/ more power over the U.S ( neutral powered). Germany would soon need this power (ally) because they were planning to begin unrestricted warfare on the 1st of February.

  Restarting unrestristed warfare was another sign of aggression towards America. In 1916 after the sinking of the Sussex. Germany had cancelled submarine warfare because of protest made by the Untied States. In January of 1917 the German government restarted unrestricted submarine warfare in a plan to keep the U.S neutral. From Germany restarting this more Americans would get killed. This evetually convinced America it was time to prtect their country.

The U.S was provoked to enter teh war by German aggression. For example the unrestricted warfare, Zimmermann Note, and the sinking of ships influenced America to become a part of World War 1.
