| Summary |
"New York Times Current History; The European War, Vol 2, No. 3, June, 1915" is a historical account published during the early 20th century. This volume focuses on pivotal events during World War I, particularly examining the Lusitania disaster and its aftermath, along with Germany's justification and the subsequent diplomatic responses from the United States. It captures the tense atmosphere of the time, exploring themes of warfare, the impact of submarine tactics, and international relations. The opening of the publication sets the stage for a detailed analysis of the Lusitania case, which involved the tragic sinking of the British passenger ship by a German submarine, leading to significant loss of American lives. It recounts President Wilson's measured response to this act and provides a series of documents, testimonies, and reports that collectively depict the chaos, human cost, and political ramifications surrounding the event. The narrative emphasizes the conflicting justifications from both American and German perspectives regarding accountability for the deaths and the broader implications for neutral shipping during wartime.
