What was Germany's unrestriced submarine warfare?
In the early days of submarine warfare, there were rules that everyone followed when attacking ships. If a submarine was attacking a ship that wasn't obviously a warship, they were supposed to show themselves to the ship, tell them they were going to sink that ship, and then make sure that the crew and civilians were safely off the ship before it was sunk. During World War I, the British had such a large navy that the German navy could not defeat it, and the British were able to stop other ships from bringing food and supplies to Germany. Not only that, but the British could have food and supplies sent to England without much fear of the Germans stopping them. The Germans decided do anything they could to break the British blockade, and to stop food/supply shipments from reaching England. This meant stopping the old rules of using submarines. However, without the old rules for warning ships that they were going to be sunk and making sure the non-military people were safe, this tactic angered countries who weren't involved in the war but had their ships sunk. The USA was one such country...
Why did the US enter World War 1 Late?
In the early 20th century, the US was still largely isolationist as the American people had no appetite for foreign wars. The sinking of the cruise ship Lusitania turned public opinion in favor of war, allowing US leadership to enter World War 1 alongside its allies.
What constituted the policy of unrestricted submarine warfare?
Basically, since the invention and more widespread use of the submarine, there were certain rules of warfare regarding them. Submarines, when they wanted to sink a ship (when it wasn't an obvious military ship), were supposed to pop up out of the water so that the ship could see them; then someone from the submarine was expected to tell the ship that the submarine was going to sink it. The submarine had to give the other ship time to evacuate the crew to lifeboats and get a safe distance away. Once all that was done, the submarine was allowed to sink it.Obviously, that doesn't work well when you want to get stuff done fast. Germany's navy was far smaller and weaker than Britain's; throw in France's and those of other countries, and Germany was at a considerable disadvantage. Germany needed to be able to hit hard and fast without having to slow down if they wanted to have any chance at defeating the Allied navies.So unrestricted warfare was basically ignoring those old-fashioned rules. They began sinking ships without warning, meaning crewmen were getting killed, and the whole ship was lost. German subs would sometimes accidentally shoot neutral ships, like those belonging to the US, or shoot ships carrying people from neutral countries (like the British cruise ship, the HMS Lusitania, which had over 100 Americans on board when the Germans sank it).Germany agreed to stop unrestricted submarine warfare after the Lusitania incident, because they didn't want the US to join the Allies. But in early 1917, they decided that they couldn't keep that up, and had to restart it. This, coupled with their attempt to secretly convince Mexico to declare war on the US, angered the Americans enough that they declared war on Germany in April 1917.
