It fostered anti-German sentiment in the US.

Explanation: The May 7, 1915 German U-boat sinking of the RMS Lusitania killed about 1,198 people, including 128 Americans. The event outraged public opinion in the United States, undermined support for German wartime policies and helped shift U.S. attitudes toward the Allies (contributing to the U.S. decision to enter the war in 1917), though it was not an immediate cause of entry.
