Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar; and sometimes there is no conspiracy. Assuming that the facts stated in the article are true, I suspect that it was done to make a good story and not for the purposes of war-mongering.
Recall that the US did not enter the war until we got nailed by the Japanese in 1941. In fact, it wasn't until 1939 that Britain, France, et al. declared war.
