On May 7th,1915, she was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat, causing the deaths of 1,198 passengers and crew. The sinking caused a storm of protest in the United States, as 128 Americans were among the dead. The ship's sinking provided Britain with a propaganda opportunity, which helped shift public opinion in the United States against Germany and influenced America's eventual declaration of war two years later, in 1917.
