In February 1917, the German navy intensified its unrestricted submarine warfare campaign in the Atlantic, targeting not only military vessels but also merchant ships. This aggressive strategy aimed to cut off supplies to Britain and its allies, hoping to weaken their war effort. The decision ultimately contributed to heightened tensions with the United States, leading to increased American involvement in World War I.
