Which nations action caused te united to fight in world war 1?

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.
