The 1915 sinking of the Lusitania is represented by this picture.

Tensions between the

United States and Germany increased after a German submarine sank a British ocean liner,
taking American lives in the process and fueling the nation's rising anti-German feeling.
This cartoon depicts Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare policy, in which submarines
attacked both military and civilian vessels without prior notice. The United States came
closer to entering the fight against Germany as a result of this practice's tremendous impact
on public opinion.
The mobilization activities in the United States in the early phases of World War I are
symbolized by this poster. The poster highlights patriotism and military service as a means of
enticing Americans to join the armed forces and aid in the war effort.
The diplomatic talks that followed the German submarine attack on the French passenger
liner Sussex are seen in this image. Germany's pledge to restrict submarine warfare in order
to prevent upsetting the United States, known as the Sussex Pledge, demonstrated
diplomatic efforts to resolve the issues driving the country toward war.
In addition to serving as a graphic reminder of the consequences of unrestricted submarine
warfare, this eerie image shows the aftermath of the sinking of the Lusitania. The sinking
strengthened anti-German feelings and influenced public opinion, which in turn influenced
the United States' decision to join World War I.
