The Lusitania Article

I read the article about the sinking of the Lusitania and I thought it was very interesting to learn about the German U-Boats and what they did. I knew about the U-Boats prior to us studying them, but I wasn't aware that Germany had quite as deadly a navy as it did back then. It makes you wonder if the US might not have gotten involved in WWI, even with the Zimmerman Telegram, if the ship hadn't been destroyed. There were some Americans on board, but the US feigned its neutrality for a while. I guess we didn't have a choice though. The whole thing was kind of a tragedy... that's a lot of people who died. A lot of innocent civilians who were just sailing along. I wonder if they knew, though, that a limited supply of weapons was on board the ship. If so, I guess they pt themselves in danger. But I'm done rambling on about it. I liked the article. It was interesting to read.
