In December, 1937 the Japanese invaded the Chinese city of Nanjing and murdered an estimated 200,000 civilians. Leading up to World War II, the Japanese were creating an empire in East Asia and the Pacific believing themselves to be the dominant race and nation of Asia. This is due to the fact that they had not lost to a foreign military power going back to the 1200's against the Mongols. They also expanded because they were a industrious mountain-island nation that needed raw materials for its factories. The Japanese invaded China and annexed nearly have of the Chinese mainland. In a dark moment of history, they invaded the Chinese city of Nanjing and murdered men, women, and children alike while committing various war crimes and atrocities during battle. The League of Nations failed to respond to the incident and was altogether denounced.

Explanation:
The sinking of the Lusitania (with the loss of civilian American lives) produced a huge resentment in the public opinion against unrestricted submarine warfare launched by the German Navy. Probably the Lusitania (like other "neutral" freighters) was also carrying ammunition to England because there are suspects that its sinking was quite immediate and destructive after the torpedoing but anyway this was an open act of aggression against a clearly marked non-belligerant vessel.
Even worse was the Zimmerman telegram instigating the Mexican government to declare war on the US promising (in case of victory) huge extensions of American territory (Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, if I remember correctly). The "secret" telegram of the exterior minister Zimmerman was intercepted by the British and promptly disclosed to the US autorities...if there were any doubt about intervention this episode certainly settled it down against Germany.
