The two reasons:  

  • 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, <em>Lusitania</em> -- 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.

Even though the first settlers of Jamestown were young and middle aged man that had military experience, and they were considered as tough man that would be able to survive in the wilderness, it didn't turned out as planned. The first settlers were totally clueless about their environment, they were catching lots of diseases and lots of them died because of that. They were not very efficient in the agricultural field, so they starved very often, and for some time relied on the natives for food. All in all, they were in terrible state, and Jamestown was on the verge of collapse for most of the time.

Irish Potato Famine: Why did so many people starve to death during the Irish potato famine?
marin [14]

From my knowledge, potatoes used to be a poisonous plant. Unbelievable right? So what the farmers whould do is they would stomp on them and let them be in the sun for a while then the heat of the sun would rise the poison so the potatoes wouldn't be poisonus anymore so then they are safe to eat.
