On May 7, 1915 the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine, the U-20. A second explosion followed shortly thereafter, and the ship sank in only 18 minutes. The disaster did not provoke the United States into entering the First World War, but it did turn neutral sentiments against Germany. Some two years later, when the United States did enter the conflict, it was squarely on the side of the Allies.

The RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner owned by the Cunard Steamship Line Shipping Company, built by John Brown and Company of Clydebank, Scotland, and launched on Thursday, June 7, 1906. She and her sister ship RMS Mauretania were built to compete with the German liners of the time. Lusitania took back the Blue Riband in 1907 and she and the Mauretania were the fastest liners of their day.
On May 7, 1915 the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine.
