The United States officially entered World War I on April 6, 1917, after President Woodrow Wilson requested a declaration of war from Congress. This followed several months of pressure from public opinion and events like the sinking of merchant ships and the Zimmermann Telegram. The Senate voted in support of the measure to declare war on Germany on April 4, and the House concurred two days later, on April 6.

The Zimmermann Telegram was a secret diplomatic communication sent by the German Foreign Office to the German Minister to Mexico in January 1917. It proposed a military alliance between Germany and Mexico if the United States entered World War I against Germany, with the promise of returning Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico to Mexico. The telegram was intercepted and decoded by British intelligence, and its contents were published in the United States, contributing to public outrage and ultimately, American entry into World War I.
