Great Discovery channel episode on now about the sinking of the Lusitania and the ammunitions it was carrying. They confirmed the name was painted over, strengthing the theory that it was set up to be sank, which helped lead us into WWI.

The Des Moines Register was the only paper out of 50 to run the ad below; the State Department pressured the rest not to run it:

Lusitania departed Pier 54 in New York on 1 May 1915. The German Embassy in Washington had issued this warning on 22 April.[11]

NOTICE!
TRAVELLERS intending to embark on the Atlantic voyage are reminded that a state of war exists between Germany and her allies and Great Britain and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters adjacent to the British Isles; that, in accordance with formal notice given by the Imperial German Government, vessels flying the flag of Britain, or any of her allies, are liable to destruction in those waters and that travellers sailing in the war zone on the ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk.
IMPERIAL GERMAN EMBASSY,
Washington, D.C. 22 April 1915

Ironic how we entered WWI, WWII, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan all due to acts which caused the deaths of Americans; each act having its own conspiracy theories that the United States government may have known it was coming, if not been complicit in the act itself.

They found unexploded British depth charges proving that the British tried to destroy evidence of the historical find.
