A New Kind of War
Instruction Active
The Lusitania Warning
What is the greatest risk Germany took by establishing
this policy?
NOTICE! TRAVELLERS intending to embark on the
Atlantic voyage are reminded that a state of war exists
between Germany and her allies and Great Britain and
her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters
adjacent to the British Isles; that, in accordance with
formal notice given by the Imperial German Government,
vessels flying the flag of Great Britain, or any of her allies,
are liable to destruction in those waters and that
travellers sailing in the war zone on the ships of Great
Britain or her allies do so at their own risk.
- IMPERIAL GERMAN EMBASSY,
Washington, DC, April 22, 1915
O wasting its energy chasing down passenger ships
harming innocent people and making new enemies
O angering the British by denying them war supplies
O failing to prevent delivery of supplies by other
routes
What is the greatest risk Germany took by establishing this policy?
