The final action taken by Germany that prompted President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war was the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in early 1917. This aggressive military strategy threatened American ships and lives, leading to the sinking of several vessels, including the Lusitania in 1915 and later incidents that endangered American citizens. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States, further inflamed public opinion and galvanized support for entering the war. These factors combined led Wilson to advocate for U.S. involvement on the side of the Allies.
