Sussex Pledge
The Sussex Pledge, made by Germany in 1916, promised to limit unrestricted submarine warfare and ensure the safety of neutral passengers. However, the pledge was conditional and ultimately failed to prevent further attacks on American ships. This continued aggression, coupled with the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, which proposed a German-Mexican alliance against the U.S., inflamed public sentiment and pushed the U.S. closer to war. Consequently, the failure of the pledge to maintain peace heightened tensions and made American involvement in World War I increasingly likely.
After Germany sank the British passenger ferry Sussex in March 1916, killing 50 people, it sparked outrage in the United States and heightened tensions between the U.S. and Germany.

However, this pledge was not upheld for long, eventually contributing to the U.S. joining the war in 1917.
