because of a boat and a note. The boat was the Lusitania, which was sunk by German U-boats
The passenger liner that was sunk, prompting the United States to enter World War I, was the RMS Lusitania. It was torpedoed by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915, resulting in the deaths of 1,198 people, including 128 Americans. The attack stirred public outrage in the U.S. and contributed to the growing tensions between the U.S. and Germany, ultimately leading to America's entry into the war in 1917.
Two key events that led the US to enter World War I were the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, where a German U-boat torpedoed a British passenger ship, resulting in the deaths of 128 Americans, and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram in early 1917. The telegram revealed Germany's proposal to Mexico to join the war against the United States, promising the restoration of lost territories. These incidents heightened anti-German sentiment and ultimately swayed public opinion in favor of joining the conflict.

Although the U.S. did not enter World War I immediately after the sinking, it intensified calls for action against Germany, ultimately contributing to the U.S. decision to join the war in 1917.
