Original Note:
The poster ignores that Germany sent the now known Zimmermann telegram trying to get Mexico to attack the USA in Jan 1917 and Zimmermann admitted this in March 1917. This was the catalyst that forced Wilson to declare war on Germany. https://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/zimmermann https://www.intelligence.gov/evolution-of-espionage/world-war-1/america-declares-war/zimmermann-telegram
