The war at sea in world war one (as with two in the atlantic) was inherintly limited by the allies primarily Britains decicive advantage, the Germans faught the French and the British with the battle of Jutland being the main engagement. The result of this was the British taking heavier losses than the Germans but the Germans lost their ability to really challenge the British and did not engage in major surface engagments after this. The Germans pioneered submarine warfare during world war one but this was relatively limited and is mainly significant in its influence in the German decision and ability to launch a Uboat campaign in world war 2
The RMS Lusitania was sunk off the Irish coast in May 1915. By that time the war had been going on for ten months. There were 128 Americans among the 1500 killed, and outrage over this in American was a factor in America's eventual declaration of war against Germany and the Central Powers. But that declaration of war did not come for another two years.

After intercepting a message from Germany which invited Mexico to join Germany and wage war on the United States, Wilson pushed America to enter the war. _______________________________________________________________ German Uboat attacks killed U.S. citizens.
