On May 7, 1915, the transatlantic passenger ship Lusitania was sunk by the German submarine, U-20. The event, in which 128 Americans lost their lives, sparked widespread criticism in the U.S. and abroad. President Woodrow Wilson responded with a sharp letter of protest and condemnation, demanding that Germany cease unrestrained submarine warfare. Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, in favor of maintaining the country's neutral stance, was opposed to the strength of the statement, fearing that it would lead to war with Germany. No longer able to support the President's policy, Bryan resigned his post on June 7, 1915.
