passengers aboard. Dernburg further said that the warnings given by the German Embassy before her sailing plus the 18 February note declaring the existence of "war zones" relieved Germany of any responsibility for the deaths of the American citizens aboard. He referred to the ammunition and military goods declared on Lusitania's manifest and said that "vessels of that kind" could be seized and destroyed under the Hague rules. Luisitania was indeed officially listed as an auxiliary war ship, and her cargo had included an estimated 4,200,000 rounds of rifle cartridges, 1,250 empty shell cases, and 18 cases of non-explosive fuses, which was openly listed as such in her cargo manifest. The day after the sinking, the New York Times published full details of the ship's military cargo. Assistant Manager of the Cunard Line, Herman Winter, denied the charge that she carried munitions, but admitted that she was carrying small-arms ammunition, and that she had been carrying such ammunition for years. The fact that Lusitania had been carrying shells and cartridges was not made known to the British public at the time.

military conflicts (Which shows why war is unattractive to modern states). There's a lot of sources explaining the Irish Americans' influences in pacisfism and anti-war sentiments and their influences in media and elite groups. As well as many Republicans and conservatives, who were opposed to it based on their aversion to wars and conquests, that were chracteristics of aristocratic and unfree countries. There's documentaries and scholars mentioning the American opinion towards war, but the one which says that it "changed" in three years is well accepted here. The article is biased while exposing many conspiracy theories without discrediting such theories. I consider working, with more editors, on the bias and diversity of sources, as well as writing it in a non-biased style.

matter of moral outrage and public feeling just plain leaves too much out. I'm no expert in this area, but those who are really should devote some work to this in order to present a full picture. Trade relationships with Britain and Germany were very real and very important. Those war loans were very real and involved very important sums of money, especially in a banking system that had very few safeguards and safety nets. How a possible future German Empire including Britain, France and Spain would have behaved economically and commercially would have had huge consequences for American interests. This whole aspect needs to be explained. Perhaps extant research in this area is inadequate, but it needs to be explored.

No. It was a typical passenger liner of the time carrying cargo and lots of innocent civilian passengers and crew. You forgot to mention that the German Navy denied they sank the Lusitania for quite some time before finally admitting it. The Captain of the Sub that sank her nearly lost his command and rank for disobeying orders.

That seems to say "American" in this article title includes Mexico. I think that's insulting to Mexicans. Maybe the "United States of Brazil" makes the "United States" an ambiguous term when referring to countries.
