similarities and differences between the Titanic and the Lusitania?
The Titanic and the Lusitania were both famous ocean liners, but they had significant differences in their design, purpose, and historical significance. Similarities: Ocean Liners: Both the Titanic and the Lusitania were luxury ocean liners designed to carry passengers across the Atlantic Ocean. They were known for their opulence and provided accommodations for wealthy and first-class passengers. Sinking Tragedies: The most significant similarity between the two ships is that they both suffered tragic sinkings. Differences: Time and Era: The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, during its maiden voyage, whereas the Lusitania sank on May 7, 1915. The Titanic represented the peak of the Edwardian era, while the Lusitania sank during the early stages of World War I. Purpose: The Titanic was primarily designed as a transatlantic passenger liner, competing to provide luxurious travel experiences. On the other hand, the Lusitania had a dual purpose, serving as both a passenger liner and a cargo ship. Sinking Circumstances: The Titanic hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic, resulting in its tragic sinking. The Lusitania, however, was targeted and sunk by a German submarine (U-boat) during World War I. The attack on the Lusitania played a significant role in the eventual entry of the United States into the war. Passenger Capacity: The Titanic was larger than the Lusitania in terms of both size and passenger capacity. The Titanic could carry around 2,224 passengers and crew, while the Lusitania's capacity was around 1,962. Casualties: The sinking of the Titanic resulted in a higher loss of life, with approximately 1,500 people perishing. In contrast, the Lusitania's sinking claimed around 1,198 lives. Impact on History: The sinking of the Titanic became one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history and led to significant changes in maritime safety regulations. The sinking of the Lusitania, on the other hand, heightened tensions during World War I and played a role in shaping public opinion and the eventual involvement of the United States in the war. In summary, while both the Titanic and the Lusitania were luxurious ocean liners and experienced tragic sinkings, they had distinct differences in their design, purpose, and historical impact.

Why did Germany declare unrestricted submarine warfare two sparate times?
Problems in restricted sinkings: 1. Takes too long to make the kill. 2. Submarine has to stay in one location & surfaced in one location too long. 3. Survivors abandoning vessel to be sunk present a problem; life-boats, food, sick and injured, etc. 4. Extended time on station (see #1) allows allies more time to locate, target, and destroy submarine. Benefits of UN-Restricted sinkings: 1. Saves submarine and crew from attack and being sunk. 2. Allows higher kills at sea, at minimal threat to submarine and crews.
