Germany, being part of the Central Powers and at war with Great Britain, had set up a blockade around Britain. While a cruise ship called Lusitania was going from America to Britain, German submarines spotted it, and although it was only legal for the ships to be searched, German U-boats simply torpedoed the Lusitania, killing 128 Americans and over 1,000 passengers in total who were on the cruise ship. Although it is true that Germany sent a warning to America and Germany had suspicions supplies were hidden in the Lusitania (to help Britain), it enraged Americans so much that the Propaganda produced by this made anti-German sentiments reach their peak and in 1917, America declared on Germany and entered World War 1 on the side of the Ally Powers
