Here's what happened on May 07, 1915:

• Sinking of the RMS Lusitania During World War I, the German submarine SM U-20 torpedoed and sank the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania off the coast of Ireland, resulting in the tragic loss of 1,198 lives, including 128 American citizens. This devastating event dramatically shifted public opinion in the United States, transforming many pro-German sentiments into strong anti-German sentiment and ultimately contributing to the United States' decision to enter World War I.
• China Concedes to Japanese Demands The Republic of China reluctantly acceded to 13 of the 21 Japanese Demands, significantly expanding Japanese imperial control over Manchuria and substantially influencing the Chinese economic landscape. This capitulation represented a major geopolitical concession that would have long-lasting implications for East Asian power dynamics.
• Second Battle of Ypres - Canadian Defense During World War I, German forces launched a sustained bombardment and attack against Canadian troops defending the forward line of the Western Front at the Frezenberg ridge. This five-day engagement was a critical moment of resistance and strategic defense by Canadian forces against German military advances.
• Second Battle of Krithia - New Zealand's Effort In this World War I engagement, New Zealand troops relieved exhausted British forces who had barely advanced 800 yards towards the Ottoman line. The New Zealand forces managed to push forward an additional 400 yards before being pinned down, marking a challenging but determined military operation in the Gallipoli Campaign.
