When the United States entered World War I, what was one of its goals?

Retaliating for Japan’s attack on the United States
Destroying the German government
Destroying the Italian government
Protecting freedom of the seas

Explanation

Answer - D - Protecting the freedom of the seas was one of the main goals of the United States when it entered World War I.

Key Takeaway: Ultimately, it was Germany’s announcement that it would return to completely unrestricted submarine warfare that led the United States to enter World War I. Submarine warfare greatly hurt shipping and travel, thus violating the freedom of the seas. The United States strongly believed that the seas should be free, safe, and protected.
