There were 4 major reasons why the US got involved in WWI.

1. German U-boats blew up and attacked US ships.

2. The sinking of the Lusitania caused by U-boats

3. The Russian Revolution

4. The Zimmerman Telegram which was sent by Germany to Mexico which bribed them that they could regain their lands if they started a war with US.

The main reason was the fact that Germany promised to stop sinking our ships with their U-boats and torpedo, but they broke their promise and continued to sink our ships.

The sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman Telegram were also factors. Also the US had banks in some European countries and didn't want to loose money if the Axis powers won
