Was the submarine effective in World War I?
Yes, A German U-Boat sunk The Lusitania, eventually causing The United States to join the war, I'd say that's a huge impact.Undoubtedly. The submarine came of age in World War 1, but its success was less than it could have been because admirals preferred to fight with massive fleets of surface ships. Navies had submarines in earlier wars (late 1800's, early 1900's), but they were held out of action. In World War 1, the submarine proved itself a warship that could no longer be ignored. As evidence that submarines were not taken seriously before the war, no anti-submarine weapons were invented until after submarines began sinking enemy ships.The most famous submarines of WWI were the German U-Boats (U standing for Untersee, the German word for underwater)
The principale reason for US entry into world war 1?
Zimmerman Telegram, sinking of the Lucitania, and German aggression. There were two primary reasons that the United States entered into World War I: The Sinking of the Lusitania, and the intercepted Zimmerman telegram. Let's start at the sinking of the Lusitania. It was carrying 128 Americans onboard, despite German threats of sinking any ship that came into their waters. In fact, they actually took out a full page ad in an American news paper and warned the United States to not board the Lusitania. In 1917, Germany warned the entire world of submarine warfare. Next, the Zimmerman telegram was intercepted by the United States. It detailed a plan to keep America neutral, but offered an alternative should this not prove to be the case--making a deal with Mexico to help them regain lost territory to the United States. This scared Americans to death and with their fear came their demands for war. Thus, America enters the war (near the very end, mind you), and tips the scale of the stalemate. If I had to choose which one was more prominent, I'd have to say the Zimmerman telegram. Hope this helps, Alex
Why did the United States join the war of World War 1?
They first did not want to take any part into it. Then many parts of Europe were sailing across the Ocean because they wanted to trade with us. We did not want to. They started shooting at us, and that's when we started to take part in it.
What event brought the United States into ww1?
There was no single event that drew the US into World War I in 1917. The sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 along with continued submarine warfare against American commerce made the US entry into the war almost inevitable.
What were the reasons why the US became involved in WWL?
the single most important reason the U.S. got involved in the war was because they felt that their position as a neutral country had been violated because a German U-boat had sunk the Lusitania, an American passenger ship.The Lusitania was not an American passenger ship, but a British one, though American passengers were aboard, and some of them died. Its sinking led to a furious diplomatic incident, but never came even close to bringing the US into the war. That came only two years later, when Germany had indeed started sinking US (and other neutral) merchantmen.Just in case this wasn't enough, the German Foreign Office sought an alliance with Mexico, ofering them the return of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona in return for support should the US enter the war. This message (the so-called "Zimmermann Telegram" was intercepted and decoded, and pulled the rug out from under those Americans still favouring neutrality.
