Why did the US join the war against Germany in WW1?
I was told that there was a Jewish conspiracy against Germany, which gave rise to anti-antisemitism, but I don't know how true this is. I normally brush off these sort of theories, but my understanding is that the Nazis did, indeed, blame the Jews for Germany's defeat, and the reason may well lie in some sort of Jewish conspiracy with Britain on the promise of returning to their "Holly Land".
Can somebody explain to me why the US joined with Britain against Germany?

The answer is in "The Zimmermann Telegram" by Barbara Tuchman. If you're interested, get a cheap, used paperback on amazon.com or alibris.com. Better hurry up. This is 2013, almost 100 years after 1914. These books are about to take off.

The war was nearly over once the US joined but of course it was crucial. The bombing of a US citizens based submarine which enraged America's. the treaty of Versailles was appointed afterwards to contain Germany for about 20 years or so then you know what came after Hitler. He blamed the Jews for the loss and what he's country endured during their punishment.
