WW1 Naval Warfare

1,198 people out of 1,959 people died on the Lusitania.

They had posted a warning notice in the newspaper

Members of the British Navy were responsible for capturing the Gallipoli Peninsula and to destroy the Turkish guns that controlled the Dardanelle Straits. However; this plan of attack failed when they landed too far North.

On the Lusitania a total of 1,198 people died (785 passengers and 413 crew). Those killed included 128 US citizens. The ship sunk in May of 1915.

Off the coast of Southern Ireland

naval-history.net lists all allied casualties from World War 1 and 2 as well as others. The HMS Aboukir, HMS Cressy and HMS Hogue - all sunk by German submarine u-9 on the same day - with a loss of around 1,459 men total. Naval-History.net has casualty lists for all three ships

People believed the Lusitania couldn't be sunk by German submarines partly because the Lusitania was the fastest ocean liner at the time (it's top speed was about 23 knots). This speed was fast enough to outrun any German submarine at the time. Submarines from that time period were extremely slow, especially when submerged. Their top speed when submerged was less than 10 knots. By the time a German submarine would aim to shoot a torpedo, people believed the Lusitania would've already outran it and be out of the U-boat's maximum torpedo range.

1,198 people died when the RMS Lusitania sunk.

I dated a young man that was on the crew of a submarine that was in port in Vancouver, B.C. He took me for a tour of the submarine and all I can tell you is I felt Claustrophobic and sweated bullets as he explained everything to me and when I finally got out I had to take a big gulp of fresh air. The quarters were very small and you would have had a hard time swinging a cat around in it. Today's subs are more technology based and roomier, but still small quarters. Life on board a sub is not for everyone. The crews would call them "sardine cans" or "tin cans." That's about what it must have felt like for them. During WWII it was a terrible feeling for some of those men if a war-ship dumped depth charges at them and even with radar from the sub many were hit and sunk and it's a slow death of suffocation. Sometimes the subs had to dive for hundreds of feet quickly and sometimes hit bottom and "stay low" and if they began to come to the surface too fast a great blast of air like a high screaming whistle would almost burst the eardrums of the men inside. Many of these poor souls ended their lives in a watery grave.

Britain blockaded Germany during World War 1, preventing food and materials from reaching the country. The Germans hoped to break the blockade by deploying submarines that would destroy British maritime power. Also, the submarines attacked cargo ships that brought supplies to Britain. In this way, Germany attempted to blockade Britain through the use of submarines. Also, submarines crushed British morale and made the war unpopular in the eyes of the public.

A WW1 battleship had a crew (sailors) somewhere between 800 and 1,200. British ships (Royal Navy) were also home to a contingent of Royal Marines.

Same here! Can somebody please answer? :(

They are concepts that started US involvement in World War One.

Yes there were the numbers of them were 1, 11, 13, 15, 19, and 21

Lusitania was heading for the port at Queenstown Ireland (now known as Cobh).

hello

• Blame goes completely to Germany
• Germany paid Reparations for damage during the war
• Germany had to get rid of submarines, air force reduce navy to 6 ships and Army to 100,000 men
• Germany lost Territory in Europe and colonies were given to Britain and France

Captain Richard Feldt who made the surface attack on the 140 foot Tug Perth Amboy and on the town of Orleans, Massachusetts with her two 105mm deck guns and torpedoes on 21 July 1918. No one was killed and only the tug and two of her barges were destroyed. The U-156 was attacked and bombed by Curtis HS-2L seaplanes but was not damaged and escaped. The U-156 was lost with all hands on or about 25 September 1918.

A mine laid by the U-156 is credited with the sinking of the only major warship lost by the US Navy during WW1 (USS San Diego (ACR-6) on 19 July 1918.

Sailors in World War I faced harsh and perilous conditions, as naval warfare became increasingly lethal with the introduction of submarines and battleships equipped with advanced artillery. They endured long periods at sea, often dealing with limited supplies, harsh weather, and the constant threat of enemy attacks. Life aboard ships was challenging, with cramped quarters and a strict hierarchy, which only added to the stress of combat. Many sailors experienced psychological strain from the relentless tension of warfare and the loss of comrades.

A good topic sentence ona report on World War 1 is:

People call World War 1 the Great War because the war lasted from 1914 to 1919.

Here is a whole answer:

People call World War 1 the Great War because the war lasted from 1914 to 1919. But, the fighting stopped in 1918. The war was fought by the Allies and the Central Powers. The Allies fought on one side and the Central Powers fought on the other side. The Central Powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria ect... The Allies were Serbi, Russia, France, Belguim ect...

Just to let you know I got an A+ on this report.

It was the Sussex Pledge signed in 1916. It was an agreement between the U.S. and Germany, to protect merchant ships from German U-boats.

The Lusitania sank, so as it doesn't sail anymore, i don't beleive so (even though i don't beleive in ghosts, I'm trying not to be biased)

The goverment introduced evacuation because they knew that children wouldn't be safe in the big cities so they sent them to places far away with lots of greenland because there would be no reason to bomb the countryside, would there. So that is why evacuation started.
