The Last Voyage of the Lusitania

Based on the video we watched in class and the link in the title above, post on the following:

1. Why did Germany torpedo the Lusitania, a civilian vessel?

2. Why did such a large ship sink so fast?

3. What have you discovered about social class divisions in 1915 (based on the video and the link provided)?

4. What stands out for you, either emotionally or factually, after watching this video? Why?
