Did A German Submarine Sink the Titanic?

Discuss!

I say no way possible, WWI U-boats were short range and this was 2 years before WWI. The first diesel engine was fitted in a U-boat in 1912 and they were capable of short trips in the North Sea only. They were never as far west as the Titanic when she sank, not even 6 years later when WWI concluded. Also, Titanic sank in 1912, two years before WWI. No German captain would attack a ship in peacetime. He's not a kid in the backyard with a slingshot.

See, I saw the movie "Titanic", and there was this guy running around the ship shooting at Leo. I think the holes were caused by the man shooting.

Clearly, that is what happened.

My second theory is that the Irish blew the Titanic up to get the US to aid Ireland (the IRA) in the struggle.

My third theory is the that the Scots blew the Titanic up because they were too drunk and sabotaged the wrong ship.
