Prior to this in early 1917, Germany was so confident that its reinforced armies in the west would defeat the French & British that it restarted Unrestricted Submarine Warfare against merchant shipping in the North Atlantic Ocean, that primarily affected American shipping. German arrogance caused the Germans to ask (in the Zimmerman telegram) Mexico to attack the United States to help Germany. These two events caused outrage in the United States directed at Germany that led to a US Declaration of War in April 1917.
