On February 1, 1917, the German government decided to resume unrestricted submarine warfare during World War I. This decision aimed to cut off supplies to the Allies by targeting merchant ships without warning. The policy was seen as a way to gain a strategic advantage, but it ultimately contributed to the United States entering the war against Germany later that year.

Lenin was isolated in neutral Switzerland during the beginning of World War I.
