About 750,000 German civilians died from starvation caused by the British blockade during the war.
- People died (especially children).
- They starved - including the soldiers who sometimes had to eat horsemeat cooked with nettles.
- Rations were put in place (some foods were not available).
- The winter of 1916-17 was called the 'turnip winter' as there was little else to eat.
- The average diet consisted of only 1,000 calories a day.
- Malnutrition led to scurvy, tuberculosis, etc.
- The people were already weakened by hunger when the Spanish influenza epidemic broke out, killing more people than it would have if the people hadn't been starved.

How did the British blockcade of Germany lead to the sinking of the Lusitania?
The British blockade of Germany during World War I aimed to restrict supplies, including food and munitions, to the Central Powers. This blockade intensified tensions at sea, leading to heightened submarine warfare by Germany in an attempt to counteract the blockade. The Lusitania, a British ocean liner, was torpedoed by a German U-boat in May 1915, as it was suspected of carrying war supplies; its sinking resulted in significant loss of civilian lives and contributed to shifting public opinion against Germany. This incident exemplified the risks posed by the blockade and the broader maritime conflict of the war.
