Answer: submarine attacks
Context/detail:
Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.
Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks. But a couple years later they resumed such attacks, and there was also an intercepted telegram that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States. In 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response.

Explanation:
A lot of people have been raised to demand a change when they see injustices, some might go at it in a violent way, others might approach it in a more peaceful way. One thing you have to know about making big decisions, is that you will never please everyone. Someone is always going to be mad. It depends on their moral values as people. If you saw something that you thought was morally wrong, you would be upset too. They have tried peaceful protests and weren't heard, now they choose to incite violence because they have a voice and are represented in the media that way.
It all leads down to morals. The media says that if you aren't for it, you're automatically against it. If something the media does or activists do doesn't allign with people's morals, they choose the complete opposite because they think that's their only option.
