Neutrality was successful for three years.How did the United States get involved in WWI?1. Germany started sinking ships.. the main ships were ships from Germany and France, and there were people from the United States on those ships which made us sad. As time went on, we became very upset because they were sinking ships that people from the United States were on.2. The second biggest reason was the Zimmerman Note which was a coded telegram sent by the Foreign Secretary of the German Empire, Arthur Zimmerman, on January 16, 1917. It was sent to the German ambassador in America. The note was a post-alliance between Germany and Mexico. The note was published in the newspaper on March 1, something was declared on April 6. We were giving so much stuff to GB that Germany thought that they were losing the war from it, so they were hoping that if they started unrestricted submarine warfare the US would just backoff and they would win.3. Beleifs of War Hawks from Teddy Roosevelt, who actually wanted to go and fight in the war but Wilson didn't let him because he didnt think that a president should die in a war,4. Trading with Europe increased.5. British and American Propaganda6. Preparedness Program in 1915- the US started arming and preparing for war7. American business- munitions business pushed US into was to make money8. Germany declaration of "unlimited submarine warfare."THESE ARE THE CAUSES HOW WE, THE AMERICANS, GOT INVOLVED IN THE WAR
