Why did the Germans kill 1200 innocent civilians?

>>67637737
1200 armsdealers helping our enemies.

>>67637737
It was a set up. The Americans needed a causus belli and provoked the attack.

>>67637737
You already mentioned it. They're Germans.

>>67637864
This is not at all the reason why the US entered the first world war.

>>67637893
That's exactly what I'm saying. It's the excuse they used to justify it.

>>67637923
But it wasn't. Not only that, Woodrow Wilson was a huge pacifist faggot (although he took a ballsy position in trying to keep the US out of the war for as long as he could)

It was a good catch. We're always aiming for high scores.

It was carrying weapons and ammo. It was a legitimate target. The fault lies entirely in Britain for allowing civilians on the ship.

I know, we're watching the news here. No need to copy our history. The US already do that.

Germans can't stop themselves from destroying things.

>>67637737
Because said 1200 civilians were being used by the US as a human shield for arms transports.

>>67637737
They had guns.

While it was one of the major factors it wasn't the only one. It was a combination of that and the zimmerman telegram that got is in.

we wanted america to partake in the war,so we revealed the location of said ship pretending that we didnt know the krauts were listening in
