The Write Team Daily: "Awakening The Sleeping Giant" (May 7, 2026)

Explore the defining moments of May 7 on this episode of The Write Team Daily. When a German torpedo sank the RMS Lusitania on May 7, 1915, it changed the course of what would be known at the time as The Great War. Before the ocean liner had settled on the ocean floor -- along with nearly 1,200 victims, mostly civilians -- public opinion completely changed and a nation braced to enter the conflict. Also on this episode, Alfred Nobel’s patent for dynamite (1867), the recording of “Chattanooga Choo Choo” (1941), and the groundbreaking early concept of the integrated circuit (1952) that helped launch the digital age. Plus, our daily birthday spotlight, remembrance of a great champion, and a powerful devotional from Genesis 4:6–7 on resisting temptation and choosing what is right. 🎧 The Write Team Daily on The Write Team Podcast is our daily history podcast covering U.S. history, world events, innovation, culture, and Christian inspiration.
