Wilson demands strict accountability for Lusitania sinking

He pledges no repetition of unlawful submarine actions and notes multiple incidents including the Falaba Cushing Gulflight and Lusitania. British unrest grows as anti German sentiment spikes and Germans in Britain face internment and damage. Italy leans toward war as Giolitti era shifts loom, with only socialists opposing participation.
