Answer:

The attack on the Lusitania brought the US closer to clan war in 1915 because Germany found a new way to attack, using a weapon called the U-boat, and they wanted to put an end to that. Early events in 1917 that cause President Wilson to declare war war events in Russia and the Zimmerman note.
