The statement that best describes the main motivation for the United States' entry into World War I is to maintain freedom over trade for the United States. During World War I, Britain and Germany were at war. Germany attempted a quarantine on the British Isles. Britain was one of America's closest trading partners. The United States declared war on Germany after many ships were attacked or sunk by German mines.
