The Lusitania Riots,

Lusitania left New York, bound for Liverpool, on May 1, 1915. On May 7, eleven miles off the southern coast of Ireland, she was sunk by a German U-boat, killing 1,198 passengers and crew. Thereafter, riots against German shops occurred up and down Britain. But some of the worst riots were in Liverpool, which possessed a very large Irish-emigrant community.

In Liverpool, overall, 200 shops were gutted with the damage costed at £400,000.
