The British blockade of Germany during World War I aimed to restrict supplies, including food and munitions, to the Central Powers. This blockade intensified tensions at sea, leading to heightened submarine warfare by Germany in an attempt to counteract the blockade. The Lusitania, a British ocean liner, was torpedoed by a German U-boat in May 1915, as it was suspected of carrying war supplies; its sinking resulted in significant loss of civilian lives and contributed to shifting public opinion against Germany. This incident exemplified the risks posed by the blockade and the broader maritime conflict of the war.
