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.

The principles of republicanism initiate hostilities between the Americans and British. One of the ideas of republicanism is the right of representation in government. For each of the colonies had a legislature, attending as the only representation the Americans had since they had no Member of Congress. England commenced passing laws like the Stamp Act that did not go over local Colonial Legislatures.
