WWI, Remember the Lusitania

An English World War I enlistment poster from 1915. The text at the bottom reads: "Remember the Lusitania. It is your duty to take up the sword of justice to avenge this devil's work. Enlist Today." The sinking of the Cunard ocean liner RMS Lusitania occurred on May 7, 1915 during WWI, as Germany waged submarine warfare against the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The ship was identified and torpedoed by the German U-boat U-20 and sank in 18 minutes. The vessel went down 11 miles off the Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland, killing 1,198 and leaving 761 survivors. The sinking turned public opinion in many countries against Germany, contributed to the American entry into WWI and became an iconic symbol in military recruiting campaigns of why the war was being fought.

Título:
WWI, Remember the Lusitania
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Un cartel de alistamiento inglés de la Primera Guerra Mundial de 1915. El texto en la parte inferior dice: "Recuerde la Lusitania. Es su deber empuñar la espada de la justicia para vengar la obra de este diablo. Alístese hoy". El hundimiento del transatlántico RMS Lusitania de Cunard ocurrió el 7 de mayo de 1915 durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, mientras Alemania libraba una guerra submarina contra el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda. El barco fue identificado y torpedeado por el submarino alemán U-20 y se hundió en 18 minutos. El barco se hundió a 11 millas de Old Head de Kinsale, Irlanda, matando a 1.198 y dejando 761 supervivientes. El hundimiento hizo que la opinión pública de muchos países se volviera contra Alemania, contribuyó a la entrada de Estados Unidos en la Primera Guerra Mundial y se convirtió en un símbolo icónico en las campañas de reclutamiento militar de por qué se libraba la guerra.
