Explanation:
The sinking of Cunard Line's Lusitania in May 1915 enraged the US enough to enter into the World War I. This ship carried small arms ammunitions along with non-combatant passengers. Germans took it as a carrier of munitions and sunk the ship without any warning. Before making the torpedos loose, they did not even warn the passengers to set off in lifeboats. Out of the 1195 persons who died, 124 were from the US. So, the 4th point describes how sinking of Lusitania led the US to enter the war.
