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.

I need An acrostic poem for Tom Watson
kirill [66]

Answer:

Tom is a politician that everyone knows,

One educated, labourer soul,

My role model and everything I would like to become.

When I've first time heard your speech,

And all the things you said on TV, I knew

To whom I will give my trust and my future

So you can lead me in better tomorrow,

On all your efforts, visions and thoughts, but

Now you are retiring and all is gone.

Acrostic represents a poem in which the initial letters of the lines, read from the top-down, reveal the name of the person to whom the poem is intended.
