One of the most notorious instances of a German submarine sinking a passenger ship was the sinking of the RMS Lusitania on May 7, 1915. The Lusitania was a British ocean liner that was torpedoed by a German U-boat off the coast of Ireland during World War I, resulting in the deaths of over 1,100 passengers and crew. The sinking of the Lusitania contributed to the eventual entry of the United States into the war.

Reasons not to go to ww1?
The reason the US entered the war was because of the sinking of an British passenger ship full of American civilians in international waters, the Lusitania. Problem is, the Lusitania was not just a passenger ship. It was filled with munitions headed for Britain, was also under instructions from the British Admiralty to report the sighting of any German submarines, and was also under instructions from the British Admiralty to resist any attempts by the German navy to board and inspect her for war material. Thus, according to international law, the Lusitania was a ship of war and a legitimate military target. The German government even took out ads in American newspapers warning Americans of this fact and that they would have no choice to sink the ship, even if there were civilians on board.
