Germany restricted its submarine warfare in response to international outrage.

Explanation: The sinking (May 7, 1915) killed many civilians, including Americans, causing international condemnation and diplomatic protests. To avoid provoking the United States into joining the war, Germany temporarily limited its U-boat attacks (e.g., Arabic and Sussex pledges). Germany later resumed unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917, which helped push the U.S. to declare war.
