- No, because the Germans attacked Britain. Americans died on the Lucitania, but the Germans were targeting the UK and not the US. At that time, the US was weak but Britain could easily have defended itself with no American help whatsoever. American involvement in WWI was just a waste of lives.

Do not forget that the Lusitania went down back in 1915; the issue was resolved for two years between the US & Germany, until further ship sinkings became blatant. Still, as pointed out, US entry was a disaster since it gave personal motivation to "the Little Corporal" himself and national motivation to the German people--notably after harsh reparations & the infamous inflation that the Weimar government used to make the reparations worthless; worthless to the allies but making the Mark worthless as well!!
