In short, Germany was close to being defeated, and America wanted to be part of the post war carve up (when territory was divided).  The US was supplying war materials to the Allies and could not do so while maintaining complete neutrality.  There was also the sinking of the British ship Lusitania which angered the US. Also, the Zimmerman telegram.

The United States entered World War I for numerous reasons. A German victory would have upset the established balance of power. Should England and her fleet fall into the hands of Germany, the United States would have been in extreme peril to further German expansion. Americans were also upset by the sinking of the Lusitania and the Sussex, both carrying US citizens, by German submarines. In his campaign of 1916, President Wilson had promised Americans that he would maintain freedom of the seas. This eventually led to direct US involvement in the war in order to stop German subs, which were ignoring the US's position of neutrality, from attacking US ships.

What was the political situation when president Obama declared his intention to increase his use of executive
Zina [86]

Answer:

After being held up in the courts for more than a year, President Barack Obama’s signature immigration executive actions that proposed expanding his deferred action policies to allow individuals residing in the country illegally the opportunity to avoid deportation and obtain work permits and driver’s licenses were blocked from being implemented in a 4-4 ruling delivered by the United States Supreme Court on June 23, 2016.[1]

Without a ninth justice, due to the vacancy left on the court by former Justice Antonin Scalia's unexpected death, the Supreme Court was unable to rule on the case. The 4-4 split decision upheld the lower court's ruling, which blocked the new and expanded immigration policies from going into effect. President Obama blamed the court's inability to issue a ruling on Republican senators who have declined to hold a confirmation hearing on his Supreme Court nominee Judge Merrick Garland.[2]

driven by economic ambitions and a sense that the United States was “destined” to span the entire continent, the war also raised the issue of how acquisition of such a large territory would affect the balance between slave and free states.
