Was the US justified in entering World War 1?
America felt like their freedom was being threatened. The Germans weren't allowing them to take supplies to Europe in boats across the Atlantic. They'd already shot down the Lusitania (though technically they did warn us and the boat was carrying arms), and there were lots of other reasons that America felt like it was being encroached upon. I'll let you decide for yourself.

What is the lusitania sink?
one day the great ship Lusitania had sail. it was going good but somehow the German people shoot a torpedo to the great Lusitania and it sank The Lusitania was a British ocean liner. It was sunk 14 miles off the coast of Southern Ireland by German U-boats on May 7, 1915 while on its way to Liverpool from New York. 1198 people including 128 Americans died because the ship listed so quickly that few of the life boats could be deployed. The US was neutral in the war at this time, but the incident provoked outrage and stirred anti-German feeling in the US. The Germans knew the Lusitania was being used to ship war materials in it's cargo hold in spite of btitish denials. Ads were published in American newspapers that the ship was a ligitimate target, and anyone traveling on her was in peril. Recent investigations have proven that the Germans were correct, her hold containing artillery, ammunition and other war material. The British were aware that the Lusitania would be sailing through an area known to have ongoing U-boat operations, but failed to warn the liner; probably hoping it's sinking would bring the United States into the war.

They even went as far as putting adds in some of the major newspapers. The Lusitania sunk rapidly because it was actually smuggling weapons of war to Brittan. So many lives wouldn't have been lost, arguably, if the ship were not carrying such weapons.

Why did submarine warfare push the Unite States into the war?
If you're referring to World War 1, it was due to the fact that German U-boats were sinking American "unarmed" ships, like Lusitania, causing an uproar. Moreover, America confronted Germany about this, and made them sign the Sussex pledge, which had made them warn ships before they would attack. However, Germany eventually broke that agreement in January 1917, by resorting back to unrestricted submarine warfare. Thus, they had broke the agreement, adding an incentive to go to war for U.S.

What was the lusitania affair?
A British ship carrying hundreds of American passengers and weapons that was torpedoed by a German U-Boat. This helped America enter the war as the population began to view Germany as an enemy.Lusitania is a ship that was sunk in World War One by one German U-boat. It was an English ship manufactured by the Cunard line and is considered by many as a major reason the USA entered WW1. It was a passenger vessel and therefore should not have been a military target, although it is suspected that it was used my England to illegally smuggle explosives into the country from America. This is based on reports of two huge explosives that caused the ships sinking. One from the torpedo from the U-boat and one from the explosives in the hold blowing up as a result of the U-boats attack. This theory of arms smuggling has never been fully proven though the English or Irish Navy were responsible for depth charging the remains of the wreck in the 1950's - as underwater recovery and diving technology improved meaning further exploration of the disaster would be possible. This is seen by many as an attempt to cover up evidence. Thousands of people died the night the ship sank many of them Americans and that is one of the reasons the US went to war in Europe. On further review the Lusitania was carrying war weapons to Great Britain.
