Lusitania (/ˌluːsɪˈteɪniə/, Portuguese: Lusitânia, Spanish: Lusitania) or Hispania Lusitana was an ancient Iberian Roman province including approximately all of modern Portugal south of the Douro river and part of modern Spain (the present autonomous community of Extremadura and a small part of the province of Salamanca). It was named after the Lusitani or Lusitanian people (an Indo-European people). Its capital was Emerita Augusta (currently Mérida, Spain), and it was initially part of the Roman Republic province of Hispania Ulterior, before becoming a province of its own in the Roman Empire. Romans first came to the territory around the mid 2nd century BC. A war with Lusitanian tribes followed, from 155 to 139 BC. In 27 BC, the province was created.
The etymology of the name of the Lusitani (who gave the Roman province their name) remains unclear. Popular etymology connected the name to a supposed Roman demigod Lusus, whereas some early-modern scholars suggested that Lus was a form of the Celtic Lugus followed by another (unattested) root *tan-, supposed to mean "tribe", while others derived the name from Lucis, an ancient people mentioned in Avienus' Ora Maritima (4th century CE) and from tan (-stan in Iranian), or from tain, meaning "a region" or implying "a country of waters", a root word that formerly meant a prince or sovereign governor of a region.
World War I (WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War, or the Great War, was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history. Over 9 million combatants and 7 million civilians died as a result of the war (including the victims of a number of genocides), a casualty rate exacerbated by the belligerents' technological and industrial sophistication, and the tactical stalemate caused by trench warfare, a grueling form of warfare in which the defender held the advantage. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, and paved the way for major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved.
The war drew in all the world's economic great powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (based on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom/British Empire, France and the Russian Empire) versus the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Although Italy was a member of the Triple Alliance alongside Germany and Austria-Hungary, it did not join the Central Powers, as Austria-Hungary had taken the offensive, against the terms of the alliance. These alliances were reorganised and expanded as more nations entered the war: Italy, Japan and the United States joined the Allies, while the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria joined the Central Powers.

When German U-boat Commander Walther Schwieger ordered a torpedo strike on the Lusitania, he didn't know it would be the shot that eventually led the U.S. into WWI. But it wasn't a mistake, either. From: SINKING THE LUSITANIA: AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY http://bit.ly/1Jy9EyE

Welcome to Cobh, Ireland. This seaside town is virtually unchanged from its appearance during the Edwardian era in the early 1900s, though it is now a popular destination for vacationers. Cobh boasts the lone cruise ship terminal in Ireland, and visiting vessels can land their passengers in the center of town. Perhaps not unexpectedly, Cobh tourism is largely influenced by the tragic stories of the Titanic and the Lusitania. Cobh—then known as Queenstown—was the last stop before the Titanic vanished into history, and when the Lusitania was torpedoed in 1915, survivors and the dead were brought to Cobh. Embark on The Titanic Trail to learn about the impact the Titanic’s loss had on Cobh, or pay your respects at the Lusitania Memorial, located in Casement Square, right in the center of to...

LORICA - LUSITANIA --- LORIGA - PORTUGAL --- Land of VIRIATHUS, the lusitanian/portuguese national hero. More 2600 years old and the capital of the snow in Portugal. Povoação existente há mais de 2600 anos na colina entre ribeiras, tradicionalmente e documentalmente referida como berço de Viriato, paróquia desde a época visigótica e vila desde o século XII, LORIGA tem também uma extraordinária beleza . Os romanos puseram-lhe o nome de Lorica (palavra do latim para couraça guerreira) do qual derivou Loriga que tem exatamente o mesmo significado. Um caso raro em Portugal de um topónimo que se mantém há mais de 2000 anos, origem do gentilico loricense/loriguense e da principal peça do brasão da vila. Durante o século XIX Loriga tornou-se uma progressiva vila industrial com predominância do tê...

If you loosen liable lips
You keep sinking all my ships
Oh then you're the one who sank my Lusitania
But somehow it don't register as pain, at all
Till it finds our crooked vain
It should help
Oh let's not remember the Maine
Oh-oh-oh ooo
You laid mines along your shore
Oh no ooo
Through my hull they ripped and tore
Oh ooo
We don't study this war no more
So we let our backbone slip
Till the arc spits from my fingertips
And we'll become a hazard in the rain
Boy we'll get charged out in the lane
And there's a 60-cycle hum
Go ahead, say something dumb boy, there's no shame
There's no shame
Go ahead, say something dumb boy, there's no shame
Oh-oh-oh ooo
You lay your mines along your shore
No ooo
Through my heart you've ripped and torn
Oh ooo
