President Woodrow Wilson responded to the sinking of the Lusitania, which occurred in May 1915 and resulted in the deaths of 128 Americans, by expressing strong disapproval of Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare. He emphasized the need for Germany to respect neutral rights and warned that further attacks could jeopardize U.S.-German relations. Wilson sought to maintain a stance of neutrality while also advocating for the protection of American lives and interests, ultimately leading to increased tensions between the U.S. and Germany.
