The government didn't want to join WWI (and they tried many different things to keep them out of WWI), but it was simply impossible to stay out of it. <span>The 3 things that forced America to take action were:
1. </span><span>The sinking of the boat Lusitania by a German U-Boat (it had 120 Americans on it)
</span><span>
2. </span><span>A message that was intercepted by the British government stating that Germany was willing to give Mexico Texas, AZ, and New Mexico if it attacked the US (A.K.A. The Zimmerman note)
</span><span>
3. T</span><span>he sinking of several US ships heading to Britain.
I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
