Yes, i think the Germans did have the right to torpedo the Lusitania. Only because they thought the Lusitania was carrying arms to help the British. Yet they were right. It is terrible that 128 Americans and lots of british were on this ship, and were killed when they mostly didnt know the arms were even on the boat. the Germans took their chances by doing this, but it was for their country!
the single most important reason the U.S. got involved in the war was because they felt that their position as a neutral country had been violated because a German U-boat had sunk the Lusitania, an American passenger ship.AnswerThe Lusitania was not an American passenger ship, but a British one, though American passengers were aboard, and some of them died. Its sinking led to a furious diplomatic incident, but never came even close to bringing the US into the war. That came only two years later, when Germany had indeed started sinking US (and other neutral) merchantmen. Just in case this wasn't enough, the German Foreign Office sought an alliance with Mexico, ofering them the return of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona in return for support should the US enter the war. This message (the so-called "Zimmermann Telegram" was intercepted and decoded, and pulled the rug out from under those Americans still favouring neutrality.
Germany sank the Lusitania, killing 128 Americans aboard the British ship. The Zimmermann note offered German aid for a Mexican invasion of America, but was intercepted and sent to America. The American economy was closer to those of Britain and France, who has borrowed money for the war, and it would be more apt to collapse if those nations lost the war.
I think that they defended their country.
Lusitania was built at John Brown Shipyard Clydesbank ,Glasgow Scotland. She was owned and operated by Cunard Steamship Lines of Liverpool, England.
Germany sank the Lusitania and sank it because of the fact it was a British ship and Germany was at war with Britain, it was a coincidence that Americans were on it and not the only ship with Americans that the Germany sunk.
