Allied naval blockade of German ports were causing hardship to German citizens and hampering Germany's war effort. However, from the various naval battles with the Royal Navy, the Imperial German Navy had learned that it can not defeat the Allied on surface battle. Hence the aims of lifting Allied naval blockade on German ports and crippling the shipping bloodline of British Empire can not be achieved without the use of submarines. However, normal submarine warfare where U-boats have to surface and reveal its presence before searching and attacking is deemed to be too cumbersome, hence the use of unrestricted submarine warfare.
