Neutral shipping during World War I referred to the practice of countries not involved in the conflict allowing their merchant vessels to transport goods across international waters without interference. However, this was complicated by the wartime strategies of the belligerent nations, particularly Germany's use of unrestricted submarine warfare, which targeted neutral ships suspected of carrying supplies to enemy nations. This led to significant tensions, especially with countries like the United States, whose vessels were attacked despite their neutral status. Ultimately, these incidents contributed to the U.S. joining the war in 1917.
