What eventually happened to the germans' use of submarines in world war 2 to blockade Britain?
The Allies' development and use of both the escorted convoy system and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) weapons and techniques, and the breaking of the German ENIGMA code, spelled the end of the early successes that Germany's U-boats enjoyed at the outset of WWII.
Escort vessels in time came to include Destroyers, Destroyer Escorts (Frigates), Escort Carriers for air cover (initial use of Merchant Carriers was an interim measure before EC's were introduced).
ASW technology and weapons, including Radar, Hedgehog/Squid ASW mortars, and the nighttime Leigh Light (a powerful spotlight aligned with Radar to illuminate U-boats during their final surface attack run), provided a significant improvement in kills and a proportionate decrease in losses.
This convergence of all ASW technology eventually led to an end-of-war 75% loss rate for the U-boats.

How role did submarines play in World War 1?
In World War I, the Germans used submarines mainly to create a Submarine Blockade on Britain in an attempt to starve Britain out of the war. This blockade is similar to the Naval Blockade Britain used on Germany, but was not as effective, and Germany stopped halfway through the war. However, towards the end of the war when Germany was losing, they restarted the 'unrestricted submarine blockade', which accidentally sunk an American passenger ship. This angered America, leading to America's participation in the war, and the ultimate defeat of Germany.
