1) A german u-boat sank the RMS Lusitania (a passenger vessel) off the coast of Ireland, which got America to notice German War atrocities and America started giving money to the European War effort. (1914)
2) Then the Germans sent the infamous "Zimmerman Telegraph" to Mexico pledging military support to Mexico if it invaded the U.S. The message was intercepted and that's what got American Troops to enter the war. (1917) <
