Answer: ( D. It resulted in an immediate declaration of war by Congress. ) This is false because even though many Americans were angered because of the sinking of the Lusitania congress did not immediately declare war, it was only when Germany asked Mexico to declare war on America that President Wilson declared war on Germany.
