EPISODE 1 | WHEN THE LUSITANIA WENT DOWN On 2 April 1917, President Woodrow Wilson went to Congress to seek permission to declare war. He was met with tumultuous applause and on 6 April 1917 America finally entered the conflict. A new drama from Martyn Wade - ENTER THE PEACE BROKER - brings America’s journey into war vividly alive. Based on first-hand accounts – diaries, letters and contemporary press coverage – it is a compelling story of duplicity and diplomatic intrigue, of colourful personalities engaged in great power politics, and of secret communications between Washington, London and Berlin set against the backdrop of war. FEBRUARY 1915. Colonel House, President Wilson’s right-hand man, is aboard the Lusitania bound for Liverpool. His mission: to negotiate peace. But the voyage is a perilous one. German submarines are on the prowl in the Irish Sea.
