Answer:

Explanation:

The US tried to remain neutral during WWI as President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed, but this opinion changed drastically when Germans sank the ocean liner Lusitania, which had 128 Americans on board.

This was the most immediate cause for the US to join the war and President Wilson asked the Congress for a declaration of war that officially happened on April 6th, 1917.
