The sinking of the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania was one of the most controversial incidents of the First World War. On 1st May 1915 the Lusitania set sail from New York bound for Liverpool, with over 1,900 passengers and crew on board. Six days later a German submarine, the U-20, sank her as she approached southern Ireland. 1,200 lives were lost, including 128 Americans, causing outrage in both Britain and America. In her defence, Germany argued that the Lusitania was carrying supplies of ammunition and also cited American press warnings discouraging travel on Allied ships. Nevertheless President Woodrow Wilson issued an official protest and there were anti-German riots in American cities. Meanwhile British propaganda capitalized on the incident (see PST 11782, PST 11803, PST 11821 and PST 11856), portraying it as an act of German barbarism. Though America remained for the time neutral, the sinking of the liner caused a significant hardening of opinion against Germany, which eventually led to her entry into the First World War, in 1917, on the side of the Allies.
