A complete blood count (CBC) measures many parts of your blood. The test checks the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in your blood. The CBC will show whether you have a low number of white blood cells. Lymphocytes account for 20 to 40 percent of all white blood cells.
Sinking of the Lusitania. On May 7, 1915, the German submarine (U-boat) U-20 torpedoed and sank the Lusitania, a swift-moving British cruise liner traveling from New York to Liverpool, England. Of the 1,959 men, women, and children on board, 1,195 perished, including 123 Americans. A headline in the New York Times the following dayâDivergent Views of the Sinking of The Lusitaniaâsums up the initial public response to the disaster.
The warfare allowed Germany to sink ships without warning. In 1915, German submarine sank the British Lusitania, which caused hundreds of Americans died. Even though the German agreed not to sink anymore without further warning, in 1916, they attacked a French passenger ship with Americans on board. If those werenât enough for Wilson to go to war against Germany, when the Kaiser announced the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in March 1917, it gave Wilson no other option but to go to war.
