It was an American liner which was sunk by German submarines in 1915(I think). This led to the U.S.'s involvement in World War I.

It was sunk off the coast of Cork in Ireland by a German submarine and that is what galvantised the US to join WW1.

everyone's right that it was a liner sunk by a German U-boat off Cork Ireland.
Whether it had arms aboard is still a subject of furious debate 90 years later.
Lusitania was British, of the legendary Cunard Line, not American.
