Episode 14e ”A Woe That Is Madness”

In this episode we look at the sinking of the Lusitania, a British passenger liner that was sunk by a German U-boat in 1915, killing over a thousand people, including 128 Americans, and helping move the then neutral United States toward joining the Allied powers.    Sources for this episode are: "Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy" by Diana Preston   https://www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history-magazine/2008/february/truth-about-tonkin   Music in this episode is courtesy of musopen.org You can support the show on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/SynodusHorrenda where for $5 a month you will receive access to short monthly bonus episodes.
