Rumania Declares War as German Battleship Is Torpedoed
A chaotic 1917 era report notes Rumania and Germany at war with hullabaloo over a torpedoed German battleship. The Schleswagen class battleship, built in 1900, displacement 13,200 tons, carried ten guns and was part of high German naval power. An ultimatum to Germany appeared, demanding full withdrawal within 24 hours. Meanwhile, civilians and officials report various European movements and political tensions, including Count Wilhelm Mohenzollern’s plans and talks of a holiday in New York, with broader notes on Mediterranean passage and political discourse in Amsterdam and Washington.
