After reading about the voyage and sinking of the Lusitania, reflect on and answer the following questions:
1. Who is to blame? The Germans, the British, Captain Schwieger, Captain Turner, or the passengers?
2. Churchill stated the following in reflection on the Lusitania: "In spite of all its horror, we must regard the sinking of the Lusitania as an event most important and favourable to the Allies… The poor babies who perished in the ocean struck a blow at German power more deadly than could have been achieved by the sacrifice of 100,000 men." Do you think this is an accurate description? Why or why not?
