That ''Lusitania'' transported military small arms material is clear; what was never clear was how much more, if indeed she covertly carried more, and where it was stored onboard.  The ship currently lies in a severely-degraded condition on her starboard side, preventing any inspection of her holds and torpedo damage.

Among the dead were 128 Americans.  Coming on the heels of German atrocities against civilians in Belgium, the episode permanently ruined Germany's reputation and alienated American public opinion.  President [[Woodrow Wilson]], saying America was too proud to fight, demanded promises that Germany would never again sink unarmed passenger liners.<ref> See Wilson's first note [http://wwi.lib.byu.edu/index.php/Wilson's_First_Lusitania_Note_to_Germany May 13, 1915 online] and his [http://wwi.lib.byu.edu/index.php/Wilson%27s_Protest_to_the_Germans second note, sent July 21, 1915]</ref>  Germany so promised but a few weeks later sank another passenger ship, the [[Arabic attack|''Arabic'']] with more innocent Americans killed.  Finally the Germans backed away from attacks on civilian ships. When they resumed unrestricted submarine warfare in early 1917 their goal was to defeat Britain quickly, knowing full well that Americans would go to war when American ships started going down; this, combined with the separate revelation of the [[Zimmermann Telegram]] to [[Mexico]], ensured U.S. entry into the war.
