Lusitania
Lusitania
Germany sank many American merchant ships around the British Isles which prompted the American entry into the war.
Germany sank the Lusitania and sank it because of the fact it was a British ship and Germany was at war with Britain, it was a coincidence that Americans were on it and not the only ship with Americans that the Germany sunk.
On May 7, 1915, a British passenger ship carrying 128 Americans and 4200 cases of ammunition was sunk by a German U-boat. American lives were lost. This incident infuriated many Americans who now called for war. President Wilson sent a pair of notes to Germany, asking for reparitions and a promise that passenger ships would not be sunk. In February 1916, Germany apologized. THE Lusitania

They were split into east Germany and west Germany. Rusians were in the east; Americans and British in the west.
To destroy Germany's capacity to make war.
President Wilson was prompted by the refusal of Germany to halt its naval attacks.
The French, British, Americans, and Russians all had occupation zones in Germany after World War 2. The French, British, and Americans united their zones to prevent the spread of Communism.
Americans and the British were allies during WWI and helped each other out in order to defeat the central power Germany.
Because the British were following a policy of appeasement, or doing anything to avoid war, and the Americans were still in isolation.
The British passenger liner that was sunk by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915, was the RMS Lusitania. The attack resulted in the deaths of 1,198 passengers and crew, including 128 Americans, and it played a significant role in shifting public opinion against Germany during World War I. The sinking heightened tensions between the United States and Germany and contributed to the U.S. entering the war in 1917.
