Question: How did the New York Times editorial writer react to the Lusitania sinking? How did the writer feel?
Answer: He says it was Inhumane. It made them very upset.
What happened:
On the afternoon of May 7, 1915, the British ocean liner Lusitania is torpedoed without warning by a German submarine off the south coast of Ireland. Within 20 minutes, the vessel sank into the Celtic Sea. Of 1,959 passengers and crew, 1,198 people were drowned, including 128 Americans.
You can see why the author felt this way, why he thought it was cruel or inhumane that someone would do that, and why he was upset about it.
Hope this helps, have a good day. c;
