Why did the united states abandon its neutrality, choosing to enter world war i on the side of the allies

Two reasons the United States finally abandoned its neutrality and chose to enter World War I on the side of the Allies:

Further details:

There had been great outrage against the Germans after the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania, in 1915.  In that incident, over 1,000 persons were killed, which included more than 100 Americans.  Germany kept the US from entering the war at that time only by pledging to stop submarine attacks.  But two years later, the Germans resumed such attacks. This was reason #1 for America to go to war with Germany.

In addition, British intelligence intercepted and decoded a telegram (known as the "Zimmermann Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.  The revelation of this plan inflamed feelings in the United States.  The telegram was sent in January, 1917.  In March, 1917, German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann admitted the telegram was, in fact, sent by his office.

In April, 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response to the Germans' submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram.

for the 2 countries u can do china and america because america has a democratic government while china has a communist government.

a democracy is a government run by the people either by directly voting or indirectly by electing representatives. an oligarchy is a government run by a few or a small group of people. a democracy and oligarchy are similar because both in an oligarchy and an indirect democracy, a small group of induvial determine the laws for a large group of people they are different because in an oligarchy it is easier to control and they do not have to answer to a large number of people in the country, unlike a democracy where they do have to answer to a large number of people an county that is a democracy would be the united states. a country that is an oligarchy would be the china.
