Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare
Germany's return to unrestricted submarine warfare.
The Russian Revolution did not play a large part in the US government's decision to enter the War. The sinking of the Lusitannia, the Zimmerman Telegraph, unrestricted submarine warfare and propaganda played a much larger role in the decision.
in 1914 they entered the war because of propaganda,sinking of lusitania, submarine warfare etc
The Zimmermann Note, submarine warfare
it sunk by a torpedo from U-20, a submarine
A German U-boat had sunk the British passenger ship the Lusitania at great loss of life. Unrestricted submarine warfare was suspended following public outcry in the US, but was reinstated in 1917. This eventually led to the American declaration of war on Germany.
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.
From what I can see, Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare policy, and the sinking of two american ships without warning is what motivated America to go into the war. Once again this is from what I can see on google lol.
During World War I, the Battle of Jutland, a naval clash that occurred on May 31 to June 1, 1916, did not have any directly significant influence on the outcome of the war. Indirectly, however, the battle confirmed Germany's isolation and inability to break the British blockade. Furthermore, it led to the German decision to engage in unrestricted submarine warfare, which eventually caused the United States to enter the war.
