Here, there are two main reasons that are important to remember when addressing the question. The two things that really set Wilson off were the sinking of the Lusitania by the Germans and the Zimmerman Telegraph that created friction between the U.S. and Germany because of the intended harm to relations between the U.S. and Mexico.
