In the Atlantic Ocean the Central Powers (mainly Germany) had UBoats that sank a lot of ships travelling to and fro from the Allied forces. The Lusitainia was sunk on it's voyage to Europe.

Why was the Courland army not evacuated before nearly the end of the war?

Two theories which can operate in tandem or separately: Hitler wanted to keep his army in the Courland in the vain hope that it would act as a threat to the Russian right flank when he was able to counter-attack. The second theory is that he wanted to keep control of Baltic coastline so that his UBoats, especially the new type XXI could train. They would be part of his new UBoat assault that he hoped would turn the war around. As we see in both cases Hitler was suffering from some delusions.


What did the united states join the allies and help to win world war 2?

I think you wanted to ask why did the US join the allies etc,tough question because the USA at the start of WW2 was against the idea of involvement in another European war,both the government and the general public,however the German blitz on London gained Britain much public support in the US,also US ships were being sunk by UBoats in Germanys attempt to starve Britain inflaming public opinion,by now the US was by now acting beyond its neutral position and supplying Britain with war goods,so the stage was set,the Japanese attack on pearl harbour in dec 41 did the rest,with the US now at war with Japan,Hitler now declared war on the US,so now the US that had been torn between its policy of isolation,and sympathy for Britain and China(China had been invaded by Japan 2 yrs before the war in Europe) was now commited to the cause of ending German and Japanese aggression,finding common ground with Churchill US president Roosevelt now found himself also allied with Stalin the leader of the USSR that had been struggling for survival after Hitlers invasion of Russia, So it was Hitlers mistake to declare war on the USA at a time when Britain was still holding out,and the soviet armies were giving the Germans their first major setback at the gates of Moscow,Roosevelt had promised the US public he would keep them out of the war,but in December 41 first Japan then a few days later Germany gave him no choice,

Why did submarine warfare push the US into World War 1?

The German government announced unrestricted submarine warfare against ANY ship sailing into Allied waters would be subject to surprise attack. Along with the German sabotage of Black Tom island powder magazine in 1916, the sinking of the Lusitania with American citizens onboard, and the Zimmerman telegram (German foreign secretary) that encouraged Mexico to ally with Germany and Mexico would win bad the former Mexican territory in the US South West, lead President Wilson to call for war. There were additional reasons, but I feel these were the Big Four.U Boats were causing havoc on the trade routes between the US and Europe by destroying merchant ships. One of the biggest factors was the sinking of the Ocean Liner "Lusitania" by German UBoats, of the 139 US Citizens on board 128 were killed. Also, when Germany began a Submarine Campaign against Britain President Wilson had previously stated he would hold Germany responsible if that were to occur.
