Before the sinking of the Lusitania on May 7, 1915, tensions were escalating between Germany and the Allied Powers during World War I. Germany had declared unrestricted submarine warfare, targeting ships in the waters around Britain, which included both military and civilian vessels. The Lusitania, a British ocean liner, was traveling from New York to Liverpool when it was torpedoed by a German U-boat, leading to significant loss of life and public outrage. This incident played a crucial role in shifting public opinion in the United States against Germany and contributed to America's eventual entry into the war.
