By using submarines, the German war machine was able to come close to America's shoreline and this surely pushed the u.s. To act

It did - one U-boat even sunk a ship in the St-Laurence Seaway, and many U-boat crews were startled by the ease with which they could torpedo ships close to the US shore until the ships' crews realised the value of black-out conditions.

What had the greatest effect in moving the US toward participation in World War 1?

Submarine warfare was abhorrent in the US during WW1. The British sank US ships trying to enter blockaded German ports. The same is true of US ships trying to enter blockaded British ports. However the Germans use submarine warfare to sink a USS Lusitania. That was the tipping for the US. Prior to then we were not wanting to get into "entangling alliances.


How dependable was the submarine in World War 1?

Dependable enough to sink large vessels (RMS Lusitania, e.g.), merchant ships and warships. Though ranges and armament were limited, the success of the German submarine fleet led to the Versailles Treaty having a condition that all German submarines were to be handed over to the Allies after the war. This was primarily so that the Allies could study German submarine technology in greater detail. The Germans were so far advanced in submarine technology that even their WWII technology legacy is incorporated into today's submarines (e.g., hull shape and design). Only the change in policy toward unrestricted submarine warfare kept the Germans from achieving more significant victories against enemy shipping and warships. Had they continued their initial policy, WWI may have turned out very differently.
