Look If you read up on it I think it is quite likely that the Lusitania was deliberately exposed to danger in the area by the British admiralty. The would have tried some false flag eventually in any case. It was a CB waiting to happen.
Additionally to give the krauts credit they had warned that ships would be attacked in the area, not to travel etc. The Uboats initially would rise to the surface, request surrender etc. However the British AMCs would disguise themselves as civillian liners and when the u boats surfaced they would reveal the guns and blow the sub out. This underhanded warfare led to the adoption of the unrestricted submarine warfare by the Germans.
It is absolutely phenomenal though how one WW1 torp could sink the Lusitania as fast as it did…
Anyway regardless the Germans were incredibly foolish not to have accepted the initial peace terms of WW1 but let it drag on.

Q-Ships.

Well, now I know what to look for. Thanks, leaf!

Garbage. Good thing it was a failure.

It's a pretty interesting aspect of WW1 which isn't very well known.
Trenches over the navy any day back then. If there is ever a war in Asia today Australia would be so fucked. Trade and naval shipping would shit itself as Q-ships would undoubtedly make a big come back. It's not that Q-ships would be very effective but rather that they would make pretty much everything that floats a valid target.

< Russia had nothing to do with winning the war.
The absolute fuck of our times.

Didn't Russia fucking give up because they had a gommunist revolution that ate them from the inside out midway though along with massive logistic problems and baltic fleet tier army management? They didn't do shit to fight the hun at all.
