No, Britain did not build any battleships for Turkey during World War 1. However, they did build and deliver two dreadnought battleships for the Ottoman Empire (which included present-day Turkey) in the years leading up to the war. These were the Sultan Osman I and Reşadiye, which were both commissioned in 1914.
There was only one explosion on the Lusitania. It was caused by a German torpedo hitting the ship during World War I, leading to its sinking. There were no subsequent explosions.
WW1 German U-boats had a maximum diving depth of around 100 meters (330 feet). However, the operational depth, at which they could safely operate and maintain control, was typically around 50 to 60 meters (165 to 200 feet).
The Lusitania, was a British ship sunk by a German U-boat in May, 1915. 1198 people were killed, 128 of them Americans.
No, they are completely different boats that met almost the same fate. The Titanic sank when she hit an iceberg in 1912.
Ooops, yes the Titanic hit the iceberg, but the Lusitania was sunk by a German U boat (There is a theory the British did it & blamed the Germans) and some US passengers died. This was in May, 1915. It is cited as one of the reasons the US entered into WW1. Sorry, my fault!!!!
1,496 people died on Titanic (and 712 were saved).
My grandfather served on this ship and is shown as a member of the crew on March 31, 1901 in the British Census at Ancestry.com. Also can be found at the British Public Record Office as document 'RG 13/740'
Only four days, the battle took place from 9 April to 12 April 1917.
It did not matter, as U-boats sank the ship very quickly.
There were not enough, because they were not required for every passenger or crew member.
I am pretty sure it was the Second Battle of the Marne but I am not a 100% sure.
No, The Third Battle of the Aisne happened before the Second Battle of the Marne.
The British ocean liner, the Lusitania was carrying weapons to Great Britain on its cruise from to Liverpool from New York.
Nothing. He knew that the ship was carrying war materials- munitions. He did open closer relations with Great Britian, which resulted in W. J. Bryan resigning as Sec of State.
The RMS Lusitania was sunk by a torpedo sent by a German submarine, U-20. Because the Lusitania was carrying a lot of American citizens, this event was one of the major reasons that the United States entered WWI.

The USS San Diego (ACR-6) on 19 September 1918 struck a mine laid by the U-156.
All submarines were built from steel. Except Bushnell's Turtle in 1776, that was made of wood & leather.
The Lusitania was a boat that sailed across the Atlantic Ocean from America to some other Allied Country in Europe. In the Atlantic Ocean the Central Powers (mainly Germany) had UBoats that sank a lot of ships travelling to and fro from the Allied forces. The Lusitainia was sunk on it's voyage to Europe.
It really depends, because f they were from belgium, they wouldn't be going there at all because belgium was neutral, on the other hand if they were from Mars it would have taken about three thousand years to swim.
P.s. could you please supply a tad more info and i will get back to you
pp.s if someone in my class asked this question the word you need to hear is sloth
though there was only a handful of engagements by each nations navy, it still played an important role during world war one.
Each nation used its navy to oversee the protection of its colonies and overseas possessions, such as India, Africa and parts of Asia.
The British navy was also used to blockade the ports of Germany to cut the supplies of food and materials they received from trading with nations and from their overseas colonies.
By 1917 Germany also responded by utilizing a campaign of unrestricted Submarine Warefare (USW), under this campaign German submarines engaged and sunk both warships and merchant ships in an attempt to cause Britain to succumb to starvation and pull out of the war before Germany.
It was actually this campaign that caused the sinking of the American ship the Lucitania and prompted the Americans to join the War against Germany.
A nasty piece of work of a German U-boot, despite the refusal to fire on women and children by the quartermaster, the Captain fired sinking the Lusitania.
