1915 World War I: The German submarine,
Unterseeboot 20, sank the RMS
Lusitania, a British passenger liner, with the loss of 1,198 lives. The incident played a significant role in the decision of the USA to enter into World War I. Germany honoured the grim event by striking a commemorative medal (pictured).
