The RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner that was sunk by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915, during World War I. The attack resulted in the deaths of 1,198 passengers and crew, including 128 Americans, which stirred public outrage and contributed to shifting American sentiment against Germany. The sinking was partly attributed to Germany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, which aimed to disrupt Allied supply lines. This incident ultimately played a role in the United States' decision to enter the war in 1917.
