Lesson 3- The Great War

Question 9 • CA-World History, Culture, and Geography A

What was an unintended effect of the sinking of the Lusitania?

Answer
A
Nations turned against Germany because of German tactics that caused the deaths of innocent travelers.
B
The Allies realized unrestricted bombing would turn nations against them, so they developed new strategies.
C
Both Germany and the Allies became suspicious of passenger ships, which often carried war supplies.
D
The United States sent diplomats to Europe to negotiate an end to the fighting before more lives were lost.

Explanation

The Lusitania was a British passenger ship sunk by a German submarine in 1915, killing many civilians, including Americans. The deaths turned public opinion in several countries against Germany and its use of unrestricted submarine warfare. Choice A describes this unintended effect; the sinking did not lead to unrestricted bombing or an immediate U.S. diplomatic mission to end the war.
