100 years ago

100 years ago today the RMS Lusitania, a British passenger liner illegally carrying ammunition to the home isles, was torpedoed by German U-Boat 20 and sunk off the coast of Ireland. 1,198 people lost their lives, including 128 Americans. The event galvanized American thoughts on the conflict and eased our entry into the war two years later. To all the victims - RIP Also - 70 years ago tomorrow Eisenhower accepted the unconditional surrender of German forces in WWII
