What did the Germans sink in 1915 that killed 128 Americans?
The Germans sank a British passenger ship, the RMS Lusitania, with a total death toll of over 1500. A German submarine, the U-20 did this, firing a torpedo, without warning, while submerged and unseen, which seemed extra sinister. It was more than fifty years before the British government revealed that the Lusitania had in fact illegally been carrying contraband munitions of war, millions of rounds of rifle ammunition and tons of explosives tot he British military, which would have justified the Germans in sinking her.

What was the name of the ship that was sunk by a German submarine?
This question is somewhat vague in it's reference. U boats sank many ships. Possibly "the ship" was the Lusitania, a passenger liner. It was sunk on May 7th 1915 off the coast of Ireland. The Germans justified this horrible act by their belief that the ship was also carrying war munitions to Britain, which has been verified in more recent years. The ship had a number of Americans on board which strengthened the argument that the U.S. should enter the war, which it did on April 6, 1917.
