>There has long been a theory, expressed by historian and former British naval intelligence officer Patrick Beesly and authors Colin Simpson and Donald E. Schmidt among others, that Lusitania was deliberately placed in danger by the British authorities, so as to entice a U-boat attack and thereby drag the US into the war on the side of Britain.
Did those snaggletooth fucks trick us?

The City of London where the Bank of England resides is Rothschild controlled.
They told it to go into Waters they knew had German combat going on. Obvious. What’s worse is Wilson was probably in on it
The US has been attacking German U-Boats long before they entered the war. They were about as keen as the Swiss to pursue their self interest but not as neutral, they had all but officially sided with Britain and France by May 1940.
I've never understood why sinking the ship was considered so terrible. Apart from the fact that it was carrying weapons, it was a completely legitimate target and Germany gave fair warning (picture related)
Also. The boat is named after the Lusitanians of Portugal whom Roman Survia Salpicus Galba promises peace and led them to their massacre, rivaling the boat being promised peace but in fact being led to war and slaughter
Wrong war
fastest ship on the atlantic for decades, able to make the trip from london to new york in half of the time it would've taken the titanic to, had they not ploughed through an ice field at 23 knots.
maybe not a legitimate reason to enter a war without context but them bloody german bastards
the U-boat part? quite possible, i'm drunk as fuck.
>I've never understood why sinking the ship was considered so terrible.
because the American press and government used it as an excuse to formally join the war
Brits also happened to find the Zimmerman telegram while spying on USA telegram lines.
You are correct about the US policy in wwii. However the Lusitânia was the casus Belli used to get the US public behind entering wwi not world war two
Oh fuck yeah I knew this too, just makes me sound like more of a brainlet saying that at this point but as you are.
I really only wanted to mention the ship. She's beautiful :')
2spoopy.
here's the iceberg that took out the titanic
No, it was an American op.
Wilson wanted to enter the war from the start. The ship WAS carrying weapons. It was a win-win scenario for him:
>the ship goes through, Britain gets weapons
Or
>the ship is sunk, tell everyone that the murderous Germans sunk an unarmed vessel
Although he really didn't need to bother. The Zimmerman telegraph would have been reason enough to enter the war. But nobody can predict German autism.

Dammit, there are cute girls representing warships, why not early 20th-century ocean liners?
Nice pic, user. These older ships are quite neat.
Fuck the ship those carriages are aesthetic as fuck
Lusitania was a joint US+UK operation.
FDR and Churchill, as high-ranking members of their countries' navies, coordinated it.
They were so successful with their provoked false flag that when their Zionist owners demanded another genocidal World War against whites FDR and Churchill used it again at Pearl Harbor.
>Lusitania
>FDR and Churchill
Wrong war dumbass.
>These older ships are quite neat.
yep early 20th century industrialism made those new massive superliners possible to the point they were able to build ships in 1910 x50 the size of the biggest ships in 1880.
its sad that they were all largely seized as transport ships by various nations in the world wars and sunk as a result. others were scrapped for metal or... iceberged.
Also, the Titanic was actually the Olympic
Stop sucking Trudeau's dick and learn to read, dumbfuck.
Then again reading doesn't mean ever comprehending, so you should just keep swallowing Castro's son's jizz.
FDR & Churchill were part of the Lusitania op.
imagine switching the names of the titanic and olympic
imagine being the captain of the titanic & agreeing to purposefully have your sink ship in an atlantic icefield knowing full well the 1000 year etiquette is for you to go down with it
just imagine for a second
Literally just about every false flag is done by Britain. Including all of the current ones. It's their specialty.
(((Eisberg)))
>Anglos sink Titanic
>oh vey goys, looks like you can't stop us from creating the federal reserve!
>Anglos sink the Lusitania
>oh vey goys, you better fight for these poor anglos, they dindu nuffin'!
Underated
Wilson was a colossal faggot. He preached neutrality but blatantly favored trading with the Allies over the Central Powers. One of the worst fucking presidents we ever had.
Ayy lmao
>he doesn't know about the rescue ship waiting ~10 miles away in the ice field
Norwegian whaling boat and/or the Californian depending on which testimony you believe.
I thought the story was it the Californian and the whaling boat were both there? This is what lead to the flare color mismatching incident
The Californian was definitely there but the ship in the distance that people aboard the Titanic reported seeing is debated upon as to whether it was SS Californian or the whaling boat.
ah, very interesting.
What is the real chance the Titanic was swapped? I've looked into it, but never enough to feel confident saying I believe it.
Titanic and Olympic were near identical on the exterior, I think the only difference was the number of windows, but the interiors were unique, Titanic was to be more luxurious & you can still make out part of that interior from the wreckage at the bottom of the Atlantic, if that answers your question.
The reasoning always confused me too. I'm sure there's some convoluted explanation for it but if it was simply the insurance policy, they could've just sank the Olympic as the Olympic instead of the whole switching names part.
Agreeing to a rescue mission in an Atlantic icefield in 1912 also seems like agreeing to stand in Hiroshima in August 1945. I don't think any Captain would be stupid enough to agree to that.
So many holes. I can go all day. I don't believe it to say the least.
Thanks for the info. I'll have to check out the unique features of the Titanic for some reference points in those Atlantic pictures.
They switched names because the titanic sinking would give them a bigger payout the Olympic sinking.
