The RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat, U-20, on May 7, 1915, during World War I. The attack occurred off the coast of Ireland and resulted in the deaths of 1,198 passengers and crew. The sinking contributed to shifting public opinion against Germany and was one of the factors that led the United States to enter the war in 1917. Germany had declared unrestricted submarine warfare, which included targeting civilian ships perceived to be supporting Allied powers.
