America in the Great War

Question 3 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Between 1915 and 1917, how did the strategies the Germans used at sea differ from those of the Allied Powers?

Answer
A
Germany attacked nonmilitary ships and those of the United States, a country not involved in the war.
B
Germany refused to stop their attacks despite complaints from the United States and other neutral countries.
C
Germany included the use of submarines in the types of boats used to attack enemy ships.
D
Germany used their submarines and other military ships for both commercial and military purposes.

Explanation

Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare targeted not only Allied military ships but also merchant and passenger vessels, including ships connected to the neutral United States. The United States was not yet a belligerent in the war during this period. The Allies also used submarines, so their use alone was not the key difference.
