During World War I, Imperial Germany utilized submarines to terrible effect in its attempt to achieve victory. In particular, it focused its submarine campaign against Great Britain, with the hope that it could starve the island-nation into surrender and thereby gain the upper hand in the overall conflict.

How role did submarines play in World War 1?

In World War I, the Germans used submarines mainly to create a Submarine Blockade on Britain in an attempt to starve Britain out of the war. This blockade is similar to the Naval Blockade Britain used on Germany, but was not as effective, and Germany stopped halfway through the war. However, towards the end of the war when Germany was losing, they restarted the 'unrestricted submarine blockade', which accidentally sunk an American passenger ship. This angered America, leading to America's participation in the war, and the ultimate defeat of Germany.

What was Germany's inrestricted submarine warfare plan?

Allied naval blockade of German ports were causing hardship to German citizens and hampering Germany's war effort. However, from the various naval battles with the Royal Navy, the Imperial German Navy had learned that it can not defeat the Allied on surface battle. Hence the aims of lifting Allied naval blockade on German ports and crippling the shipping bloodline of British Empire can not be achieved without the use of submarines. However, normal submarine warfare where U-boats have to surface and reveal its presence before searching and attacking is deemed to be too cumbersome, hence the use of unrestricted submarine warfare.
