Question

what was the main result of germany’s use of unrestricted submarine warfare during world war i?
○ it limited the number of countries that became involved in the war.
○ it weakened the german effort by overextending their resources.
○ it helped push the united states into entering the war on the allied side.
○ it convinced the allied powers that they could not win the war.

Explanation:

• Option 1: Unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany actually led to more countries (like the US) getting involved, so it didn't limit participation.
• Option 2: Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare wasn't mainly about overextending resources; its main impact was on US involvement.
• Option 3: Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, including incidents like the sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmermann Telegram (related to the submarine warfare context), pushed the US to enter the war on the Allied side.
• Option 4: The Allied Powers were not convinced they couldn't win; in fact, with US entry, their chances improved.

Answer:

C. It helped push the United States into entering the war on the Allied side.
