Quite an interesting site.  You refer to the sinking of the Lusitania (which, by virtue of its cargo, was a valid military target) happened on this day in 1915.

However, on this day in 1945, "1945 Germany surrenders unconditionally to the Allies at Reims"

Quite a lot for one day, in one century, eh?
