What was Wilson's reason to declare war on Germany? He did not like the German people. He hoped the U. S. would become a world leader. He had invested in British markets. C. He wanted to protect the ideals of democracy.

He wanted to protect the ideals of democracy.

Explanation:

The United States remained neutral in World War I until 1917.

However, Germany was continuing its attacks on many European countries and trying to gain more allies around the world. In so-called Zimmermann, Telegram Germans offered Mexico territories of Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico if they joined them and attacked the US. This was the direct treatment for the US.

President Woodrow Wilson has made a plea to Congress for a Declaration of War against Germany on the 2nd of April. He declared the US should join democratic nations to defend their right and honor. He acknowledged forthcoming losses that would surely result from “ the most terrible and disastrous of all wars”. But, in his own words, the United States would have to join Allied forces in order to ensure “security for the democratic governments of the world.”

4 days later, the war on Germany was declaired.
