    German submarines still navigate in the Atlantic Ocean. British, thanks to the fact that they

    broke the german code, British could follow all the submarine of the german navy. There still were

    ocean liner which crossed the ocean Atlantic between the United States and the United Kingdom. They

    embarked only passengers but, Lusitania had also a military cargo: rifle ammunitions and shells.

    Lusitania was described as unmistable and invulnerable like Titanic and Bismark. Moreover, he was the

    fastest grantest ocean liner. Her captain, The Captain Turner, was a “old school” commander and had

    already crossed the Atlantic. On May 7, Lusitania was torpedoed by the U 20, a german submarine led

    by captain Walter Schwieger. It was among the most lethal submarine in world war I. Lusitania sunk in

    only 20 minutes while there were 2000 people onboard, including Americans. This sinking would be

    the cause of entry into the war of the United States. However, this sinking raises a moral question.

    Indeed, Lusitania was a military target because of her cargo, was the military objective worth the 1128

    casualties? After the disaster, Churchill claimed that Turner was responsible for this sinking because he

    was totally aware of the threat that U Boat were.
