Ships carrying American passengers were targeted during periods of conflict, particularly during World War I and World War II, due to their association with the U.S. and its support for opposing nations. Attacks on these vessels, such as the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, aimed to disrupt American trade, weaken morale, and provoke the U.S. into joining the war. Such actions highlighted the dangers of unrestricted submarine warfare and the geopolitical tensions of the time. The attacks ultimately contributed to shifts in American public opinion and policy regarding involvement in international conflicts.
