'''RMS ''Lusitania''''' was a British passenger liner sunk by a German U-boat (submarine) in  [[World War I]] with heavy loss of life. The terrorist attack on unarmed civilians was a major atrocity that outraged Americans and ruined Germany's reputation as an honorable nation. The episode helped push the U.S. into war against Germany in 1917.
