Before the sinking of the Lusitania in May 1915, the United States maintained a position of neutrality in World War I, advocating for peace and trade with both the Allies and Central Powers. However, the incident, which resulted in the deaths of 128 Americans, shifted public opinion and increased anti-German sentiment. After the sinking, the U.S. government began to take a more assertive stance, ultimately leading to its entry into the war in April 1917. This marked a significant turning point in American foreign policy from isolationism to active involvement in global conflicts.
