America entered WW1 because the Germans sank lusitania, a ship containing civilians.

EDIT:

That is only one of three reasons, and one of the two that history books in America mention. The other in the books is the Zimmermann telegram, a message sent from Germany's foreign minister to the Mexican government, promised Mexico German support if Mexico invaded America to take back the land they lost in the Mexican-American War. The British intercepted that message and sent it to Wilson and Congress and it infruiated them. The one that isn't in the books is the Allied debt to America. The Allied Forces borrowed money for the war from America and if they lost, America might not get that money back. The reason it isn't in the American text books is simply that it doesn't make America as noble as the others.

The sinking of the Lusitania by a German submarine and the Zimmerman Telegram of Germany asking Mexico to attack the US were the factors that caused Woodrow Wilson into entering World War I.
