What was the UBoat in World War 1?

The U-Boat in the first World War, were German submarines that were used primarily, to sink merchant ships coming from the United States to UK. They also sunk ocean liners, which eventually led to America declaring war against Germany in 1917. The technology was still rather new and not nearly as effective as the German UBoats in World War 2. The Germans used their submarines much more than they ever used their surface fleet during the war. The German navy was very cautious about confronting the much larger British navy. When they did at the Battle of the Jutland Sea, both sides suffered heavy losses but from that time until the end of the war, the German fleet never again ventured out to fight the allies.
