Explanation:

The sinking of the RMS Lusitania by a German U - boat in 1915 was a significant event. 128 Americans died in the attack. This event, along with other factors like the Zimmermann Telegram, contributed to public opinion in the US shifting towards entering World War I.

• Tenement housing: Refers to low - quality, overcrowded urban housing, not related to US entry into WWI.
• Muckraking: Investigative journalism exposing social ills, not relevant to the ship sinking.
• Bull Moose Party: A political party, not connected to the ship.
• Korematsu v. United States: A Supreme Court case about Japanese - American internment (WWII era).
• Bolshevik Revolution: A Russian event (1917), more relevant to US war aims change (to fight for democracy) rather than the initial push to enter.
• Selective Service Act: A US act for conscription (after US entered the war).
• Yellow journalism: Sensationalist reporting style, not the specific ship.
• Moral Diplomacy: A US foreign policy approach (not related to the ship).
• Dollar Diplomacy: A US foreign policy approach (not related to the ship).

Lusitania
