List of German-sponsored acts of terrorism during World War I

During World War I Imperial Germany funded or inspired a number of terrorist acts[citation needed] in America and abroad.

In 1917 the New York Times reported that there were 10,000 German, Austro-Hungarian, Bulgarian, and Ottoman agents in America.

[1] While most of the terrorist attacks were amateurish and foiled by local law enforcement, some like the Black Tom explosion caused immense devastation.

A lone wolf attack is a particular kind of terrorist attack, committed in a public setting by an individual or group who plans and commits an act of terrorism inspired by another organization or state, in this case, Imperial Germany.

However, instead of being directed to or paid to carry out the attack the planning and the implementation for it is independent of the German Empire.
