The British destroying a German cable to the US made that virtually impossible

Britain intentionally used Americans as shields on naval vessels

We got all of our news through Entente lines after that

Germany is notorious for bad moves

Lusitania should have made America mad at Britain

we were busy with mexico at the time

But all we were told is that it was just a simple Cruiseliner

and cuba

There is a reason that when the wreckage of the Lusitania was found, the British bombed it

Ocean liner

not cruise liner

Whatever

Ww2 Germans were idiots again. Trying to get mexico to invade on unsecure lines

Point is that they were using Americans to stir rage while transferring Munitions

Anyway, blame warmongering Wilson for packing munitions on an allegedly neutral ship

u wot

Wasn't even Wilson

The Brits packed the Munitions on it

Wilson at least tried to stay out of the war for a little bit

And should have

wilson would have had to approve it

Did we? <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Britbong begone

Who said that the Munitions had to come from the US

The fact we sold them to the British

and Lusitania was being used to ship them

Were those the ones on the Lusitania that we sold?

As best I understand, yes.

lusitania was on route to the Uk

I mean I find it likely they could have been Canadian

Just a bit north

Dominion and all

last port was us soil

*last*

Which means products had to pass us customs

Ironic

which means had to be signed off

So you're proposing that there was a smuggling operation done of sneaking munitions into the US and onto ships departing our ports?

I mean, it's totally possible
