There were two things, actually:  

  • Britain intercepted the Zimmerman Telegram
  • Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare

Context/detail:

Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania -- but that happened before 1917.  When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.

Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks.  But a couple years later they resumed such attacks, and there was also an intercepted telegram (the "Zimmerman Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.  

In 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response.

What caused tension between America and the Soviet Union after World War II
Zepler [3.9K]
The main difference between both nations was their political views. America was and is a capitalist country and as we know has many freedoms. The Soviet Union on the other hand was a Communist country that gave no rights to its citizens. The United States wasn't happy with that. Also, after WWll, the U.S. provided aid to war torn European countries with the Marshall Plan but the Soviet Union hated this because they wanted to take over those countries.
