We had Germany conduct unrestricted submarine warfare, sinking many, many ships, the Lusitania being only one of these. Some of these ships were armed, as opposed to say the British fishing fleet, which Germany also attacked.
We had German saboteurs attacking American companies when they worked for on projects for the Triple Entente. And we had a German germ warfare campaign against cattle and horses. But the coup was the Zimmerman telegram.

Germany tried its hand at disrupting many countries. It pushed genral jihad against the British. It tried to get the Irish to raise up. And it tried to get many different people's under the Russian heel to rise up.

Don't know what is wrong with your brain that you feel a need to blame Jews. Germany used ties with Germans and Irish in America to keep the US out of the war. And Central Power Jews volunteered to fight. Which is more than I can say for those in Czarist Russia. And before you play the silly Judeo-Bolshevik line, it was the German High Command that financed the Bolsheviks and helped them enter Russia.

I had a grandfather and a great-grandfather fight in this war. My father's father was an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army. He and his cousins volunteered out of patriotic loyalty to a government they served for generations. My maternal grandfather's father was drafted in the Czarist army to fight for a regime that persecuted him.

I'm reading a book right now, called, The History of the Jews by Paul Johnson. I decided to read it after reading a WSJ book review on another book that was released by Paul Johnson. The reviewer said that Johnson is a conservative historian who writes short, readable histories, my kind of history book. I did a search for Kindle versions and decided on the history of the Jews because it so relevant to today's events. I haven't gotten very far, but I highly recommend it. It starts with Abraham and ties historical records to Biblical history. For instance the first document of any Jew owning property is the record of Abraham's purchase of land on which to live and bury his wife, Sarah. I bet the Palestinians can't beat that for historical ownership.
