Answer:

The United States and German engaged in talks and Germany agreed not to attack any more passenger ships

The Lusitania was carrying a cargo of rifle ammunition and shells (together about 173 tons), and the Germans, who had circulated warnings that the ship would be sunk, felt themselves fully justified in attacking a vessel that was furthering the war aims of their enemy.

After sinking the ship, The United States and German engaged in talks and Germany agreed not to attack any more passenger ships
