Lord Kitchener (Earl Kitchener) 

1914 Secretary of State for War, a Cabinet Minister.

Famous for scortched earth policy during the Boer War and expansion of internment camps in South Africa. 

1915, a German U-boat torpedoed the British-owned luxury steamship Lusitania, killing 1,195 people including 128 Americans, according to the Library of Congress. The disaster immediately strained relations between Germany and the neutral United States, fueled anti-German sentiment and set off a chain of events that eventually led to the United States entering World War I.
