The two key events that brought the US into the Great War (as it was then called):

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.

During the 1920s, economic growth in the United States occurred

Semenov [28]

The 1920's was a very prosperous time for the United States. Americans were still riding high after their win during WWl and the economy showed that. New products available to Americans made them scramble to buy them. And the best part about this was that most large products like washers and cars had an installment plan which meant that Americans didn't have to pay for the item in full, but rather pay monthly or weekly or whatever the plan was. This action was also known as buying on credit. Plus the stock market was better than ever before. People were putting money they borrowed from the banks into the ever increasing stock market. And banks also wanted a piece of the action. They would play the stock market by putting in other people's money and when they cashed in they were able to keep whatever was left over.
