Support for War ①Felt close ties with Britain (culture and laws) ②Sympathy grew for Allies ③American newspapers – dubbed Germany “the bully of Europe” ④Economic interests – trade with Europe declined

German U-Boat May 7, 1915 – U-boat sunk British liner Lusitania 1,198 lives lost  128 were Americans Americans were outraged
