German unrestricted sub warfare sank passenger ships like RMS Lusitania and also neutral U.S. cargo ships.

The Lusitania was carrying contraband munitions to Britain (similar to how Hamas hides behind civilians). That made it a legitimate military target.

That's why the Lusitania sank so quickly. The German torpedo set off the British munitions.

Germany also bought full page newspaper ads in NYC newspapers, warning that passengers ships were a military target.

Indeed. It was a dreadful tragedy, in more than one respect.

May the innocent victims rest in perfect peace🙏🏻
Amen.
