The War That Changed The World

Five programmes

Continuing the series we began earlier in the year, the BBC visits a further five countries to discuss WWI issues

(9) USA: Isolationism

Jonathan Dimbleby presents a public debate from the US Library of Congress in Washington, to discuss the relevance and legacy of World War One for the United States, in association with the British Council.

On 1 May 1915, one century ago, the British ocean liner Lusitania set sail from New York to Liverpool. She never arrived. In an event which was to have massive consequences, a German U-boat torpedoed the Lusitania on 7 May off the southern coast of Ireland. She sank in less than 20 minutes, with the loss of 1198 lives. The death toll was 128 Americans, and their deaths caused a storm of protest which was a crucial turning point in American public and political opinion about World War One (BBC)
