To finance World War I, England and France borrowed heavily from American investors and selected the House of Morgan as sales agent for their bonds and purchasing agent for war materials with further profits from production contracts placed with companies within the Morgan orbit.
But the war began went badly for the Allies when German u-boats took control of the Atlantic. As England and France moved closer a negotiated peace on Germany's terms, it became increasingly difficult to sell their bonds. No bonds meant no purchases, and the Morgan cash flow was threatened. Furthermore, if the previously sold bonds should go into default, the Morgan consortium would suffer gigantic losses.
To restore the value of the bonds and sustain the Morgan cash flow was for the US government to provide the money. But, since neutral nations were prohibited from doing that by treaty, America would have to be brought into the war.
Meanwhile, Morgan purchased control over major segments of the news media and engineered a nation-wide editorial blitz against Germany, calling for war as an act of American patriotism.
The Lusitania was built to military specifications and was registered with the British Admiralty as an armed auxiliary cruiser. She carried passengers as a cover to conceal her real mission, which was to bring contraband war materials from the United States. This fact was known to Wilson and others in his administration, but they did nothing to stop it. When the German embassy tried to publish a warning to American passengers, the State Department intervened and prevented newspapers from printing it. when the Lusitania left New York harbor on her final voyage, she was virtually a floating ammunition depot.
Her sinking led to the entry of the US into the war.
