Is there any truth to Germany attacking the Statue of Liberty in 1916?

Hi.

I have experienced technical difficulties with this thread.

Why don't I remember this attack? Why do some remember it happened in 1914?

A case of the Mandela Effect they don't want you to see.

I haven't heard of this story before, so I will only remark that Germany and the United States were not at war until 1917.

I think you men the Black Tom explosion...

The Black Tom explosion on July 30, 1916, in Jersey City, New Jersey, was an act of sabotage by German agents to destroy American-made munitions that were to be supplied to the Allies in World War I.[1] This incident, which happened prior to formal American entry into the war, is also notable for causing damage to the Statue of Liberty.

From Wikipedia

So no, the Statue of Liberty was not attacked, but was damaged as a result of another attack - an act of sabotage.

Mandela Effect can be countered by proper research.

Thanks. TC.

Its funny because most Americans are actually German (of German heritage).

Presently German ancestry is the largest ethnic group in the US. I imagine that even during the World Wars, German ancestry was a significant portion of the US.

I wonder how German Americans felt fighting Germans throughout the World Wars?

Somebody remembers, 'Black Tom'

Quick question . . . Are you at least 106 years old? Because you would have to be at least that old to 'remember' something that happened in 1914. For this to be Mandela Effect then it would have to be something remembered one way but recorded another. So, back to first question: Are you or someone you know at least 106 years old in order to actually remember the event? Or, are you remembering a past life perhaps?
