 | | The Allies denied the ship was carrying munitions, though British documents later showed it was, and claimed sinking as yet another example of the "barbarity" of the German war machine, particularly in the context of Germany's actions in occupied France and Belgium. | | | President of the United States Woodrow Wilson, who was officially promising to keep the US out of the war, may have falsely claimed that the Lusitania was a wrongful victim, if indeed the ship had been carrying munitions as the Germans claimed. | | | Immediately after the sinking, Germany accused Britain of deliberately conspiring to have Lusitania sunk to draw the United States in World War I on the side of the Allies. |

| | Lusitania Controversy - The Sinking |
| | There is a similar consensus that the abandonment of LUSITANIA, and in particular the attempted launch of her port-side lifeboats, was a chaotic scene marked by panic and incompetence and, by some accounts, by cowardice on the part of some crew members who ignored the plight of the passengers. | | | Two basic issues are raised in the LUSITANIA controversies: the propriety of the German action in sinking the ship, and the accusation that the British deliberately sent her into danger. | | | There can be no such ambivalence on the question of the LUSITANIA conspiracy. |
