(This answer will be in the context of 15th-century history.)
Simply, more exposure to diseases from animals means better immunity in the long run.
As Europeans were exposed to these diseases, they will likely have issues at first. But, their bodies will develop immunity towards these diseases to the point where many bacteria cannot even affect them at all.
Let's look at a civilization that mostly did not have livestock, Native Americans. They were pretty clean and healthy. That is because there were no diseases to kill them until the Europeans came to North America. For example, the flu virus was something a European could handle with a little bit of rest. On the other hand, the flu virus wiped out most of the Native American population since they never had exposure to it.
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 the Germans resumed unrestricted submarine warfare, 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.
