Best Answer

bombing of pearl harbor No, no that is WW2, 1941. WW1 is 1914 to 1918. A reason for the US entery into the war was the sinking by a U boat (Submarine) of the Liner Lusitania. Some of the people travelling on it were from the US and there was loss of life. 139 US citizens on board :128 were killed. The Submarine was the U 20.
