Victims of the Lusitania Sinking
Mourners of the victims of the Lusitania sinking gather at a mass funeral in the United Kingdom. The British passenger ship was torpedoed by a German submarine on May 7, 1915. Over 1000 people died, including 128 Americans. As a result of the sinking, support for Britain increased in the United States. The U.S. entered the war as an ally of the British in 1917.
