Best Answer

By 1916 the war had reached a stalemate. Much of the land war was fought in trenches where little ground was gained and many lives were lost. At sea, German submarines (U-boats) sank shipments of supplies destined for England and France. The French and British navies blockaded the North Sea to prevent supplies from reaching Germany. Neither side had a clear advantage that could break the stalemate, and both sides were suffering heavy losses and growing weary of war. Nevertheless, the impasse could not last forever; and both sides were desperate in their attempts to enlist additional support. Propaganda flooded the United States taking advantage of the intense interest with which sympathizers were watching both sides.
