Allies fought back against German U-boats by implementing a combination of tactics, including the use of convoy systems to protect merchant ships, which made it harder for U-boats to target isolated vessels. Advancements in technology, such as depth charges and sonar, improved anti-submarine warfare capabilities. Additionally, the introduction of long-range aircraft allowed for aerial patrols over the Atlantic, increasing detection and interception of U-boats. These strategies collectively reduced U-boat effectiveness and contributed to the Allies' naval superiority.
The invention of radar helped the Allies to locate and sink the German U Boats.
During WW1, German U-boats (submarines) used torpedoes to sink boats and ships belonging to the Allies or any vessel aiding the Allies war cause.
German U (unterseeboot) boats were submarines and they sank allied shipping. Britain depended on the supply of resources across the Atlantic, and Germany almost cut it off, although the US assisted with escort ships and the UK increased armament and changes convoy tactics to have any chance against the German wolf packs. What finally changed the odds was that British code breakers decrypted the German Engima system and could get intelligence about U-boat movements and plans.
The Allies sunk German Uboats. Uboat, not you-boat. Uboats stand for Unterseeboot - undersea boat.

They didn't. But they finally decided to because of the Zimmerman Telegram, the sinking of the Lusitania, and the fact that they had banks in the Britain, France and Russia (they didn't want to loose money. They also traded with Allies and German U-Boats were obstructing their trade.
It had the same significance of the Allies breaking the German's code; The German Submarines (U-Boats) could no longer communicate without the Allies listening to them. We knew where the German Subs would be & when. Then they were SUNK! The US knew where and when the Japanese would be; the US Navy would be waiting for them.
