Was the Lusitania Really a Civilian Ship?

Описание: Was the Lusitania Really a Civilian Ship?
The RMS Lusitania is remembered as a civilian passenger liner — elegant, fast, and carrying ordinary people across the Atlantic.
Yet the circumstances of her final voyage in May 1915 remain deeply contested.

This documentary examines the decisions that led the Lusitania into a declared war zone, the warnings that were issued and ignored, and the assumptions that shaped one of the most controversial sinkings of the First World War. It explores not only how the ship was lost, but why the boundary between civilian life and modern warfare had already begun to collapse.

Beyond the passengers, questions have long surrounded what the Lusitania carried beneath her decks, why those details mattered, and how uncertainty fueled global outrage. The debate that followed was never solely about a ship — it was about responsibility, risk, and whether civilian status could still exist once industrial war reached the sea.

The sinking of the Lusitania did not end the war.
But it challenged an idea that many believed still survived — that some ships, and some lives, remained outside the battlefield.
