The discovery of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a submarine mountain chain in the central Atlantic, occurred during World War I when advances in sonar technology were utilized for naval purposes. As ships began to map the ocean floor to detect enemy submarines, they inadvertently revealed the underwater mountain range. This finding contributed to the understanding of plate tectonics and oceanography, highlighting the dynamic nature of Earth's geological features. The significance of the ridge was further explored in subsequent scientific research, enhancing our knowledge of oceanic processes.
In 1915, the British ocean liner Lusitania was torpedoed by a German u-boat (submarine) and sunk because the central powers believed the ship was being utilized to transport contraband (war materials) to the United Kingdom.
In return for ending unrestricted submarine warfare, Germany sought to have the United States agree to respect its interests in Europe and potentially negotiate a peace settlement that would favor Germany's territorial ambitions. Additionally, Germany hoped to limit American support for the Allies, particularly in terms of military supplies and financial aid. This was part of a broader strategy to shift the balance of power in Europe in favor of the Central Powers.
The United States entered World War I in 1917. After maintaining a stance of neutrality for the first few years of the conflict, the U.S. joined the war on April 6, 1917, primarily due to factors such as unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram. The involvement of American troops and resources significantly bolstered the Allied Powers' efforts against the Central Powers.
Broadly speaking, the Atlantic and the Pacific. In the Pacific the enemy was Japan, in the Atlantic, Germany and Italy. But each of these vast areas was divided into several theaters of operations.The War against Japan involved the Central Pacific Theater of Operations, the Southwest Pacific Theater of Operations, and the China-Burma-India Theater.In the Atlantic the war against Germany and Italy involved North Africa, the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, the Middle East, and the European Theater of Operations.The above considers only American and British forces. There was fighting in other places where the Americans and British did not participate, most notably the "Eastern Front" where Germany was battling the Soviet Union.
