Answer:

America was led by Roosevelt to believe that the sinking, was an attack. Which America was left with little to no choice, to join the war.

The sinking of Lusitania didn't directly cause the United States to enter the war. It did, however, fuel virulent anti-German sentiment in Britain and the United States and hinder diplomatic relations between Germany and the United States.
