The Germans had decided that they would sink any ship they wanted without warning even if it was a merchant ship. This had upset the Americans because they soon started losing many American lives even though they were neutral. One of the worst incidents was the sinking of the Lusitania, a British luxury liner which the Germans sunk without first warning the ship. The Germans had killed 128 Americans that were on the luxury ship. This brought the U.S into the war.

(America eventually entered World War I.)

maybe this website should actually have an answer and be credible otherwise it shouldn't be on the enternet. It lets anyone answer these questions so people who are looking for true and honest answers are taken to this website and they information that is given is more than likely not true. i think the website should either make improvements or be taken off the enternet for awhile until it has a better way to answer questions.
