What actions did the Germans take that made president Wilson believe that violated the laws of neutrality?

One action that the Germans took, which violated the laws of neutrality, was their use of unrestricted submarine warfare. This involved sinking merchant ships, including those of neutral countries, without warning. Another action was the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed an alliance with Mexico against the United States. These actions led President Wilson to believe that Germany was disregarding the principles of neutrality and posing a threat to American interests.

How important was the German foreign policy of unrestricted naval and submarine warfare?

It led to Woodrow Wilson's hesitant declaration of war and caused the United States to cut all diplomatic ties to Germany. American propaganda flew like wild fire, enraging citizens and causing them to believe that Germany were blood-thirsty Huns that drew up mass murder without a bat of an eyelash. This also lead into the ideals of anti-German products...or the renaming of them such as Burgers to "freedom steaks" or etc. The declaration of war on Germany in 1917 was mostly influenced by German naval policy, although American economic interest and Woodrow Wilson's idealism did portray a part. On February 1915, Germans created a submarine blockade in the British Empire's Ocean's, sinking several belligerent ships, which included the Lusitania. The United States then threatened the German Government causing them to back down. Later in February of 1917, Germany then declared unrestricted submarine warfare threatening the ideals of neutrality, commerce and security. The German U-Boats wanted to sink supply ships in order to starve the Britain islands of their goods. The German's naval policy was the major reason why the United States declared war on Germany. The sinking of the Lusitania was the biggest influence of American in WWI. It was so much of an influence that it was said without the sinking of the Lusitania, the United States most likely would not of entered the war. From Germany sinking the Lusitania, American's grew hatred towards Germany, hence giving Wilson the motivation to declare war on Germany.

Why did the Germans believe that the US wouldn't be a factor in submarine warfare?

During WWI, at the onset of the war, it wasn't America's fight; it was strictly between the Europeans. However, with the German U-boat S-20's sinking of the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania, the situation changed. In addition to the new submarine naval tactic of Unrestricted Submarine Warfare, there were also many important American citizens aboard the Lusitania. The resulting backlash of the attack forced the Germans to abandon the tactic for several years, until reinstating it to counter the British blockade. It was that return to URSW that brought the U.S. into WWI. During the outset of WWII, U.S. submarine power and Anti-Submarine (ASW) capability was far behind German technology, and the Nazis knew it. Major American shipping losses while trying to help Britain fueled research and development into new submarine technology and ASW systems, which was coordinated with the British. By the time the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor formally brought the U.S. into WWII, submarine technology and ASW tactics, as well as the advent of the escorted convoy system and long-range air cover later in the war, the German U-boats were on the defensive. By war's end, they had suffered massive losses.
