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

There were a lot of Journalists that would have dug into that story deeply

Wouldn't be the first time Canada was used as an anti-American tool

Doubtful without US knowledge

See their role in Lincoln's assassination for further details

I find it unlikely that none of them would have found out that the US packed Munitions on there

Lincolns assassin was a Dem

John Wilkes Booth met with Confederate Secret Service agents in Montreal during the Civil War, and after police shot him, they found a money order of $184,000 (a lot of money in those days) from the Montreal branch of the Ontario bank
