Asked by Wiki User

No, Britain did not build any battleships for Turkey during World War 1. However, they did build and deliver two dreadnought battleships for the Ottoman Empire (which included present-day Turkey) in the years leading up to the war. These were the Sultan Osman I and Reşadiye, which were both commissioned in 1914.

What did the titanic and lusitania have in common?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, they are completely different boats that met almost the same fate. The Titanic sank when she hit an iceberg in 1912.

Ooops, yes the Titanic hit the iceberg, but the Lusitania was sunk by a German U boat (There is a theory the British did it & blamed the Germans) and some US passengers died. This was in May, 1915. It is cited as one of the reasons the US entered into WW1. Sorry, my fault!!!!

What was the main function of the navy during ww1?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

though there was only a handful of engagements by each nations navy, it still played an important role during world war one.

Each nation used its navy to oversee the protection of its colonies and overseas possessions, such as India, Africa and parts of Asia.

The British navy was also used to blockade the ports of Germany to cut the supplies of food and materials they received from trading with nations and from their overseas colonies.

By 1917 Germany also responded by utilizing a campaign of unrestricted Submarine Warefare (USW), under this campaign German submarines engaged and sunk both warships and merchant ships in an attempt to cause Britain to succumb to starvation and pull out of the war before Germany.

It was actually this campaign that caused the sinking of the American ship the Lucitania and prompted the Americans to join the War against Germany.
