It was the RMS Falaba, that went down with 104 people on 28 March, 1915. It was the first passenger ship sunk by torpedo during World War I.
The sinking of the Lusitania by a German submarine was the event that pulled the US into World War I.

A few events caused the US to enter the war. The main event was the sinking of the British passenger ship, the Lusitania, in May 1917. On board the ship were a number of Americans. The German U20 submarine torpedoed the ship, and withing 18 minutes the ship sunk. Less than half the people on board survived. A little bit of trivia: some people beleived the British let the Germans sink the Lusitania in order to get the US to join the war. This may be true, as the British Navy's actions before and after the event support this.
The Lusitania was sunk because the Germans thought that it was carring more than just passengers. The Germans thought that Great Britain were smuggling in weapons to help them fight the war. There were American passengers on the ship and when the Germans sunk it that pushed USA sentiment towards anti-germanism
By ship
Yes. The Lusitania was torpedoed by one of the World War 1 submarine before in the middle of the war. It did sink during World War 1 and also, this brings the USA into the war in the year 1917.
