U-boat is a German term for a submarine. Germany made their first submarine in 1895 but they were not referred to as "U-boats". Germany built some submarines for Russia and other countries. The first one build for the German Navy was built in 1905. This was the "Karp" class which had a double hull with a Körting kerosene engine and a single torpedo tube. This was designated U-1, of course.

∙ 13y agoThe first U-boats were Karp class vessels built for export to Russia during their war against Japan in 1904 (Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905). In 1906 Germany took one of those class submarines and commissioned it into the German Navy as U1.

What were uboats made for?
Uboats were made to attack and sink merchant ships carrying supplies to Great Britain. Germany knew if they managed to cut Britain's supplies off then they would be unable to continue the war. They did this by launching torpedos which blew holes in enemy ships under the waterline, causing them to take on water and sink. As the war progressed, more and more were built to combat military ships as well as merchant vessels. Hope this helps.
