The revolution that overthrew Nicholas I in Russia was not a factor that moved the United States towards war in 1917.

Explanation:

During the first three years of World War I, the United States maintained a neutral stance on the conflict. Although both the society and the government had a position tending to favor the allies, the nation did not carry out any type of military action. Still, in 1914, German submarines sank the RMS Lusitania, killing more than 100 American citizens. This caused public opinion to turn against the Germans. To make matters worse, the Germans continued to attack neutral ships in the open sea, constantly jeopardizing the safety of American citizens. Finally, in 1917, with the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, by which Germany urged Mexico to form an alliance to go to war with the United States, President Wilson asked Congress for a formal declaration of war, and the United States entered the war on the side of the Allies.
