On May 7, 1915, the British ocean liner RMS Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland, killing 1,198 people. This event, part of World War I, shocked the world and marked a turning point in the United States' involvement in the conflict.
Germany had declared unrestricted submarine warfare, attacking any enemy or neutral ship in the Atlantic and the Lusitania was sailing between New York and Liverpool. The Germans suspected it was carrying war munitions for Britain, making it a legitimate target for the Germans.
What is surprising is that the Lusitania this time traveled without escort, despite Germany's warning of submarine attacks on ships it considered suspicious. One thing that surprised investigators is that within seconds of the impact of the German torpedo, a larger explosion occurred, causing the ship to sink in just 18 minutes. Many maintain that this second explosion was caused by the ammunition the ship was carrying, although there are others who maintain that it was the explosion of a boiler.
The sinking of the Lusitania caused the death of 1,198 people, including 128 American citizens. The deaths of American citizens caused a wave of indignation in the United States, which leaned even more towards entering the war. A year after the sinking of the Lusitania, the United States declared war on Germany.
The sinking of the RMS Lusitania remains a controversial topic, with various theories about the causes of the second explosion. This event marked a crucial point in World War I, influencing the entry of the United States into the conflict and shaping the geopolitical landscape of the 20th century.
