The United States Declares War Chapter 10 Section 2

Submarine Warfare New Weapon was the German Submarine=U-Boat Changed the rules of navel warfare because it remained hidden and fired without warning Germans aimed to attack ships carrying supplies/weapons to the Allies US thought submarine warfare was barbaric and uncivilized Sinking of the Lusitania Sussex Pledge: Germans promised to warn ships before attacking Did not stop Germans from sinking ships Wilson frustrated because U.S. still a neutral country Gave large loans to Allies

US Moving Toward War Wilson re-elected in 1916 Germans violated the Sussex Pledge and resumed unrestricted submarine warfare U.S. broke off diplomatic ties with the Germans Zimmerman Note/Telegram Russian Revolution US more comfortable with joining Allies since Russia’s czar was ousted German sank American ships in March 1917 U.S. declared war on Germany in April 1917 Wilson said”…the world must be made safe for democracy.”
