What honor did the Lusitania win on its second transatlantic voyage?

History

yuradex [85]4 years ago
8 0

hortly after noon on a drizzly spring day in 1915, the Cunard liner Lusitania backed slowly away from Pier 54 on New York’s Lower West Side. It was Lusitania‘s 202nd Atlantic crossing, and as usual the luxury liner’s sailing attracted a crowd, for the 32,500-ton vessel was one of the fastest and most glamorous ships afloat. In the words of the London Times, she was ‘a veritable greyhound of the seas.’

Passengers, not yet settled in their accommodations, marveled at the ship’s size and splendor. With a length of 745 feet, she was one of the largest man-made objects in the world. First-class passengers could eat in a two-story Edwardian-style dining salon that featured a plasterwork dome arching some thirty feet above the floor. Those who traveled first class also occupied regal suites, consisting of twin bedrooms with a parlor, bathroom, and private dining area, for which they paid four thousand dollars one way. Second-class accommodations on Lusitania compared favorably with first-class staterooms on many other ships.

People strolling through nearby Battery Park watched as three tugs worked to point the liner’s prow downriver toward the Narrows and the great ocean beyond. While well-wishers on the pier waved handkerchiefs and straw hats, ribbons of smoke began to stream from three of the liner’s four tall funnels. Seagulls hovered astern as the liner slowly began to pick up speed.

Why is it so important that all citizens feel enfranchised in their own country
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: It embodies the concept of the Hallmark of Democracy

Explanation:

Enfranchisement refers to the right of citizens to vote for their own leaders and representatives. This is in line with the Hallmark of Democracy which means that citizens should be able to participate in the running of their own affairs by picking people who represent their interests.

All eligible citizens should have this right to enfranchisement because they have the right to have a say in how they should be governed as this goes in line with the concepts of freedom and liberty which every human should be entitled to.

If citizens do not feel as though they have this right, they will avoid taking part in government which would have the effect of the Government lacking the support of the people and for a Government to function, they need the people.

Germany hoped to achieve a quick victory in the First World War by invading which country first?
Levart [38]


The best answer is  C

The plan to attack France first was a plan by the German Chief of General Staff, Alfred Von Schlieffen which he came up with way back  in 1905.

He decided that France was the enemy to be defeated first, with Russia held off until the French were annihilated. He  worked out a detailed time timetable that took into account possible French responses to German actions. He believed that Germany would defeat France within six weeks, then after that  he would turn his full force on Russia. 

Schlieffen plan was heavily modified by his successor Moltke, thus during the outbreak of WWI in 1914, it was not implemented  as Schlieffen had envisioned.
