Was the sinking of the Lusitania a military blunder?
The Lusitania was deliberately sent through an area where”wolfpacks” of german submarines were known to be lurking. The sinking was a necessary event to galvanise American public opinion into supporting their countrys entry into the first world war. Thus it was not a blunder but a cold blooded sacrifice by the U.S. government of its own citizens and those of other nations.
