The sinking of the Lusitania in May 1915 shocked America because it resulted in the deaths of 1,198 passengers, including 128 Americans, during World War I. The ship was torpedoed by a German U-boat while carrying civilians, which raised concerns about the safety of neutral ships and the aggressive tactics of Germany. This incident intensified anti-German sentiment in the U.S. and contributed to calls for American involvement in the war. The loss of innocent lives underscored the brutal realities of the conflict and challenged America's isolationist stance.

Why is America so rich?
Because the founding Fathers of America had to work hard to raise a new country, that ethic stuck.

It became a snowball effect - people who wanted to make money went to America and so America itself made more from the new immigrants.

The final reason it was so shocking is because of how many people now-a-days think that the Holocaust was made up, which brought the topic of it up and it was more and more shocking everytime, there is living, breathing, and historic places to show you that the Holocaust actually happened. That's why the Holocaust was so shocking.

What was the attack of the Lusitania?
Germany, being part of the Central Powers and at war with Great Britain, had set up a blockade around Britain. While a cruise ship called Lusitania was going from America to Britain, German submarines spotted it, and although it was only legal for the ships to be searched, German U-boats simply torpedoed the Lusitania, killing 128 Americans and over 1,000 passengers in total who were on the cruise ship. Although it is true that Germany sent a warning to America and Germany had suspicions supplies were hidden in the Lusitania (to help Britain), it enraged Americans so much that the propaganda produced by this made anti-German sentiments reach their peak and in 1917, America declared on Germany and entered World War 1 on the side of the Ally Powers
