What is the lusitania sink?

Answer 1

one day the great ship Lusitania had sail. it was going good but somehow the German people shoot a torpedo to the great Lusitania and it sank

The Lusitania was a British ocean liner. It was sunk 14 miles off the coast of Southern Ireland by German U-boats on May 7, 1915 while on its way to Liverpool from New York. 1198 people including 128 Americans died because the ship listed so quickly that few of the life boats could be deployed. The US was neutral in the war at this time, but the incident provoked outrage and stirred anti-German feeling in the US.

The Germans knew the Lusitania was being used to ship war materials in it's cargo hold in spite of btitish denials. Ads were published in American newspapers that the ship was a ligitimate target, and anyone traveling on her was in peril. Recent investigations have proven that the Germans were correct, her hold containing artillery, ammunition and other war material.

The British were aware that the Lusitania would be sailing through an area known to have ongoing U-boat operations, but failed to warn the liner; probably hoping it's sinking would bring the United States into the war.
