Yeah it was the sinking of the ocean liners like the Lusitania (with the loss of 128 American lives) that really was the straw that broke the camel's back for Wilson and Congress and led to America joining the first war.
I sank a hospital ship in heavy fog once in SH5 (off the West Coast of Ireland). I felt pretty bad about it. If I'd have been in charge of my U-boat I would have done my best to rescue all the survivors I could and land them ashore in neutral Ireland - orders from BDU be damned - but I couldn't because its a game...
