The sinking of the Lusitania on May 7, 1915, by a German U-boat had significant repercussions, notably escalating anti-German sentiment in the United States. Although it did not immediately lead the U.S. to enter World War I, the loss of 1,198 lives, including 128 Americans, galvanized public opinion against Germany. This event contributed to the eventual decision of the U.S. to join the Allies in 1917, marking a turning point in the war. It also highlighted the dangers of unrestricted submarine warfare and raised questions about maritime safety and neutral rights.
