Summary

On May 7, 1915, nearly a year into the First World War, the British steamship RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat off the southern coast of Ireland. Over 1,100 people were killed, many of whom were civilians from the United States who were not participants in the war. Although the loss of life in the attack was great, the sinking of the Lusitania stands out due to its indirect role in encouraging the United States to enter the conflict. Learn about the sinking of the Lusitania and its impact on World War I on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
