The War at Sea
Ms.Noce
1) How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
- The Allies used their navies in many different ways at the War at Sea. Most countries had very large and powerful navies of whom which fought very hard to get what they wanted. Even though all the armies prepared and got stronger just to fight each other they still believed each and one of them are better than others. Allies were able to use their navy towards the Trench Warfare along with the war against Russia. Another way allies used their navy was towards the attacks which were made towards the countries which were the enemies, central power.
2) How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
- The Allied blockade caused many problems during World War 1. The outcomes of the Allied blockade were very serious. This caused a very huge problem towards the German economy. As well, the food quantity and political stage in particular in Germany were also affected as well. Germany caused most of the problems with other countries which led to many disadvantages towards others too.
3) How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
- During the war, Germany had many submarines of which they used to attack other countries. In the fall of 1914, Germany sunked a few of Britains armed warship. This attacked killed more than 2,000 people of whom were on those ships. After this attack that Germany caused Britain seemed to dislike the ships which led them to no use at all. Mining was also a big role during the War at Sea, the treaty which was made in 1907 clearly stated that sea mining was only allowed up to three miles from the enemies coastline at the North Sea. Apparently, Britain and Germany didn’t commit to this and ended up putting other ships in danger. Not only were ships affected but also neutral countries whom which relied on the North Sea trading.
4) Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
- The Battle of Jutland happened in May 31 of 1916, Vice Admiral David Beatty was the commander of the British navy, he wanted to confront Germany’s navy which was led by Admiral Franz von Hipper. At the same time, these armies both fired at each other very unexpectedly which launched into what became the Battle of Jutland. During this war, Germany lost more than 10 battleships along with many men. On the other hand, Britain suffered even more they as well lost about 14 battleships and thousands of men as well. Both countries suffered very hard with losing most of what they had along with many sailors.
5) Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917).
- The unrestricted submarine warfare began in the winter of January 1917. Unrestricted submarine warfare became very effective when Germany proclaimed area around the zones of which Britain owned, along with ships, and other goods would be attacked by the German navy. Whenever Germany seen an open chance to attack Britain they took it, such as sinking their ships and drowning hundreds of passengers of whom which were some Americans as well. American Government didn’t hesitate towards telling Germany to stop the attacks. Regardless, Germany wanted to finish what they already started so it all went their way until the end. There wasn’t really rules which had to be followed about the ships and submarines at sea and since there was tension between lots of countries, they took any chance they had to attack their enemies.

The War at Sea
1) How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
- The Allies aimed to use their navies in three ways by stopping the Germans up in the North Sea, controlling the access of merchant shipping to Germany and preventing Germany’s warships from having access to the world ocean.
2) How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
-The Allies blockade caused problems because it affected the neutral ships a lot. Also, incidents at sea were inevitable and the United States protested because they sent commercial shipping to Britain, which led their entry to the First World War.
3) How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
-The Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks by declaring that the British Isles’ seas, was a submarine warfare zone.
4) Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
-The Battle of Jutland, also known as the greatest naval battle of the First World War, occurred on May 31st, 1916. It all started when Richard Scheer, a commander of the German High Seas Fleet, was very confident that his codes were secured and that contributed to his decision of making sorties against the British Coast. Unfortunately for the Germans, the British were able to read their coded messages and found out about Sheer’s plan. This battle had five main phases. The first one is when Admiral Beatty, a commander in chief of the British battle, chased them south. The second one is when both sides thought the battle was going to plan. The third one is when the Germans found themselves under a massive bombardment from Jellicoe’s battle fleet. The fourth one is when Scheer was forced to retreat by the British army. Lastly, is when the retreat of the German battleships were covered by their lighter ships. Jutland was the last battleship battle and never again the battle fleets met again in such big quantities.
5) Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917).
- The unrestricted submarine warfare began in January 31st, 1917, when Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, a German Chancellor, explained the reasons for the policy before the Reichstag. An example of a reason is that the number of submarines had increased therefore, a firm basis has been created and are ready to success. This policy set in place a blockade between countries like Britain. In addition, the German government thought that this policy was an aggressive form of defense.

1) How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
During WW1, there were the Central Powers, Triple entente and Triple alliance. The triple alliance was made by the British, France and Russia. British’s navy was named Royal Navy; they used their navy by creating a massive plan which was to claim major sea battle against Germany. France’s navy was a very powerful navy, their goal in the WW1 was to mainly establish a defensive position instead of focusing more on attacking other opposing powers. France’s navy mainly defended the North Sea, English Channel and Atlantic coast. France’s navy was the only navy in WW1 to have a anti-submarine forces. Russia’s Imperial navy once maintained the largest navy in the world later on taken over by the British. Unfortunately, the Imperial Navy wasn’t such a organized navy, always making the wrong decision and filled with corruption
2) How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
The Blockade in World War 1 mainly affected Germany at that time, the British during World War 1 were watching the North Sea, and their mission in the North Sea was to intercept any cargo merchant ships that were supposed to be going to Germany shores, this was a very big problem to Germany in WW1 because this blockade was stopping Germany and its allies (Austria-Hungary and Italy) from receiving food and supplies, such as weapons and others.
3) How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
When the British declared full blockade towards Germany in the late 1914, Germany responded back to the British by claiming the seas around the country of Britain to be “isles to be a submarine warfare zone”. Unfortunately, Germany only had nine submarines available at that time to watch over the seas around Britain’s area. Germany also uses mining to defend them. They started using mines in the month of August, 1914. German noticed the mines became useful when they manage to sink the Koenigin Louise ship which belonged to the British. During World War 1, Germany placed over 40 thousand mines which caused major damage to opposite side navies especially Britain which lost over 40 ships, these mines also cause Britain and Russians to lose numerous amounts of submarines. The name of the mine that was used by the German which the name was actually given by the British was called “E-mine” containing over 300 pounds of charge.
4) Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
During World War 1, there were many naval battles but the major naval battle was The Battle of Jutland. This battle mainly involved the Navies of the British and Germany. According to history, the battle of Jutland occurred because the British had a high amount of supremacy not only in the continent of Europe but all around the world. This battle occurred right before 1914 (the date WW1 started), they claim this battle to be the naval race between two powerful nations. German at the end of the battle they claimed that should claim victory because they sunk numerous amounts of Capital Ships more than the British did. On the other side think they won because his fleets over sea were worth when Germany was not. At the end British did lose more ships (14 ships, 6000 lives) and Germany (9 ships, 2500 lives)
5) Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917).
Unrestricted Submarine Warfare was announced by the Germans on January 9, 1917. (Unrestricted Submarine Warfare is the practice of using submarines to attack and sink all forms of enemy shipping, whether they are military or civilian.) Unrestricted Submarine Warfare had really important impacts on World War One and it was the main reason why America joined the war in 1917. German started this because they weren’t doing so well at the western front, German made this action and they expected America not to react, also the Battle of Jutland showed the world that Germany isn’t strong enough to defeat the Royal navy.

1. How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
*During the war at sea, the allies aim to use their navies in three ways by stopping Germans ships at the North Sea. Because British learned the risk from the torpedoes and mines use the strategy of distant blockade. They took control over to the access merchant shipping to Germany and preventing the Germany warships go access toward the world ocean.
2. How did the Allied blockade cause problem?
*The Allied blockade causes problems because during World War 1, British was watching the North Sea and their navy stop all the merchant ships to Germany. This maritime power had anger the neutral countries that had been enjoy trading with Germany. Which this cause Germany stops receiving foods, weapons, etc.
3. How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
*The Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks because they wanted to debase British supremacy towards the North Sea and to arrange intermittently against neutral and Allied shipping.
4. Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
*The Battle of Jutland was happened in May 31st, 1916 and considers the greatest naval battle in World War I. Reinhard Scheer, German High Seas Fleet commander; he decided to make sorties against British coast with his confident about the codes are secure enough. Unluckily, the British were able to read the coded messages and alert is the Sheer’s plan. In this battle there are five main phases. First phase was the Admiral Beatty, commander of British navy and run south. Second phase was planning the battle. Third phase was Germany surprise by under the bombardment from Jellico’s battle fleet. Fourth phase was Scheer force by the British army to order retreat. Fifth phase was the lighter ship overlay the retreat German battleships. At the end, British lose 14 ships and past 6,000 lives compares to German lose 9 ships and injuries past 2,500. According to this battle, Germany never going to challenge British in the North Sea and no more nettle to be put to sea.
5. Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917).
*The unrestricted warfare began on January 31st, 1917; but it announced on January 9th, 1917 by Germany. Unrestricted submarine warfare is type of warfare that without warning to the merchant ships attack by the submarines and as opposed to attacks per prize rules. This had a great impact over World War I and is the reason why America joined. Germany’s major concern and what they scared of it would offend America. In result, the ferocity of desperation and belief was such a tactic, it will not enough spectacular and shocking if America is out of war. At the beginning, Germany was go high profile successes against British naval, but successes are rare. Countries are lost and wanted their countries back by attacking enemies.

1. How did the allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
One way that the navies were used was to create a blockade made by Britain to make Germany suffer and lack in food and other goods. The royal navy had taken control at the North Sea to destroy any shipment headed to Germany. Minefields were also used to sink plenty of ships and slow down the military forces on both sides.
2. How did the allied blockade cause problems?
Since Britain had begun a blockade towards Germany and its allies, Germany had stopped receiving goods and other useful resources because the blockade had created trading problems as well. Since there was starvation in Germany many people started dying of insufficient calories. Diseases were killing many Germans due to the poor nutrition.
3. How did Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
The Germans had used U-boats which were their best type of boats to use in the war zones. Mines were a useful tactic that had sunk several Britain ships and had saved time and other useful resources. The mines had also caused several U.S. ships to sink or harmed the ships.
4. Describe the battle of Jutland (may31st, 1916)
Vice admiral David Betty gave order to the British naval force to take on the German ships. The British and the Germans both attacked each other, which led to the battle of Jutland. At the time there was terrible weather so the German vice admiral Reinhard Scheer decided to send some battleships to a water way that was in the middle of Norway and northern Denmark. There they would attack the British blockade and cause damage to any other alliances that was with Britain. The British had acquired the German codes and found out the plans Germany had planned. At 2:20 on May 31st both sides got into position and shots were fired at 3:48pm. Many sailors were killed and lots of ship destruction had occurred on July 14, 1916 the Germans weren’t able to keep attacking the British blockade because they had lost too many men and didn’t have enough supplies to keep going so the British ended up winning the battle.
5. Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917)
Unrestricted submarine warfare had begun because Germany thought that they had the right amount of ships and equipment to attack Britain this time. The military force of Germany had thought that America would not join in the war and they were wrong. The German military had sunk seven merchant ships and as a result America had entered the war.

The hunger blockade also brought many diseases into Germany such as influenza pandemic in 1918 and this diseased killed about 150,000.
3. How did the germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
The Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks because they wanted to counter the blockade of british by using submarines. also the Germans went and declared that a submarine warfare zone would happened around the ocean of the British isles. the Germans also did something called surprise attacks on the british submarines. the German U-boats were also installed with locomotive torpedos. they used these torpedos for the range could cover more land and they had TNT in them.
4. Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916)?

5. Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917)?
The unrestricted submarine warfare began in the winter of 1917 because germany captured territory that belonged to the british and their ships. they also sinked many ships they sunk the lusitania thats when the americans were mad and joined the war. they also killed and drowned many passengers on their ships. the american government told the Germans to stop but they didn't listen and they keep taking over land and drowning ships. to me this is when the allied countries could have set up blockade to stop Germany from taking their stuff.

2. How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
Britain performed a sea blockade of Germany, mainly to turn down central powers from being able to enter weapons or any other matters. The blockade was mostly incorporated for food so that the German could suffer of situation.
3. How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
Germany had used submarines called "Uterseeboot" to avert materials from extending to Britain. Germany was also supervising a warfare of submarines by international requirement, its intend was to stop and board ships to examine the cargo and eliminating the groups prior to dropping the ship.
4. Describe the Battle Of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).

The War at Sea
1.How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
One way the allies used their navies was by creating blockades in both Austria-Hungary and Germany. The allied powers also used their navies to damage the economies of the central powers. Because the blockade was preventing anything from coming in, many German and Austro-Hungarian families suffered from severe food shortages. The allied powers had also used their navies to import goods from other countries.
2.How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
The blockade of the allied forces caused problems especially for Germany and their allies because their supplies were not reaching them. Many neutral countries were also affected by this blockade and in fact resented it because it severed the trading link they had with Germany in which many of them had appreciated. Many neutral merchant ships were inspected and even escorted by the British naval force to ensure that supplies and recourses were not getting to Germany.
3.How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
Germany had forged weapons called submarines (sometimes referred to as U-Boats) in order to stop the devastating effects of the blockade caused by the allied forces from happening even more. Germany had claimed that the seas around the British Isles would be a warzone for submarines. The Germans had also used mines seeing it a great way to destroy the ships of its enemies. Britain had lost around 44 ships to mines created by Germany.
4.Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
ReplyDeleteThe Battle of Jutland was considered to be the prime of naval battles carried out in World War 1 due to the excessive use of battleships and gun power. Despite being second-rate to the British naval forces, the German High Seas Fleet took on a dangerous pursuit to destroy a large proportion of the British Grand Fleet. Things were going well for Germany as they managed to destroy British battle cruisers “Indefatigable” and “Queen Mary”. In the end, Britain was the one to receive more casualties which was considered to be a victory in the eyes of Germany. However, Germany’s assaults on the Grand Fleet were not enough to leave a huge impact on them for Britain was able to hold their ground against Germany still held dominance over the seas.
5.Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917).
Unrestricted submarine warfare was declared by Germany on January 31, 1917. It was an act of desperation since the war was going downhill for Germany by 1917. The Battle of Jutland was proof that the German Navy was no match for the British Navy. Unrestricted submarine warfare was Germany only shot at overthrowing Britain and reigning victory over the seas. Some German officials opposed the act of unrestricted submarine warfare because they feared it would provoke America into war. These officials were right because the U.S entered World War 1 on April 6, 1917, due to Germany sinking RMS Lusitania which had 128 Americans on board.

1) How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
ReplyDeleteThe Allies committed to war at sea in World War One in several ways, three of which being Britain's convoy system, the Triple Entente and the Allied Blockade. Britain created a convoy system under which they escorted groups of ten to fifty trade vessels at a time on the Atlantic Ocean with ships of the Royal Navy in response to Germany's U-boat campaign on civilian ships in neutral waters. This response worked to almost completely snuff out Germany's hopes of pushing Britain to submit due to Germany's form of submarine guerrilla warfare. France and Britain's Entente Cordiale also involved a combination of naval strengths and cooperation between navies so as to be able to stand against Germany's growing navy. The Allies also created a naval blockade of Germany to prevent further attacks and campaigns on Allied ships.
2) How did the Allied blockade cause problems? 55 percent from pre-War levels
Although the blockade was extremely successful and greatly diminished Germany's resources and the health of their population, it did give Germany cause to retaliate. Their imports reduced to 45 percent compared to the stream of imports before the war (Hist Clo.com) This retaliation arose in the form of more unrestricted submarine warfare which caused minor issues on the Allied front, however, the blockade eventually served to be the first major move that led to Germany's defeat.
3) How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
Once it was clear that the Allied blockade would not soon lessen or disappear altogether, Germany prepared to fight back. They fell back on their style of unrestricted submarine warfare, even declaring the waters surrounding Great Britain to be a zone of submarine warfare (City of Art.net). Germany persevered in attacking the Allies to the best of their ability though they had less than ten subs available to spare to attack the British navy with. The inexpensive mine was found to be a cheap and highly effective tool that the German forces greatly utilized in their stint of sub warfare.
4) Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
The new commander of the German High Seas Fleet, Reinhard Scheer had a fondness for sorties—sending singular ships from a stronghold for attack—and code, believing his plans to be foolproof. Scheer planned a bombardment of sorties on the Royal Navy, communicating to his officers by a code which he did not consider the Allies could translate. Once they apprehended and decoded the orders, Britain planned for the expected attack on the 31st and sent their own Grand Fleet to aid the original targeted squadron and meet the Germans head-on. The Battle of Jutland evolved in five parts, beginning with the targeted squadron commanded by Admiral Beatty moving to easily drive the first wave of sorties back to the main conglomeration of the German fleet. German dreadnoughts then pushed Beatty’s squadron to bolt to their origin. The dreadnoughts were too confident, however and were assaulted by a powerful British fleet they believed to be too far north to be a threat, however, the decoding of German orders gave Great Britain a vast upper-hand. A furious battle ensued in which the British were able to give more damage than they sustained. Eventually, Scheer acquiesced as it was clear that by this time of the night, Germany could not bear further damage to her suffering dreadnoughts. While Great Britain lost more total ships, she was able to severely damage nearly all of Germany’s main great ships, giving Britain the advantage throughout the rest of the war of having the best heavy fleet.
5) Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917).
ReplyDeleteIn January of 1917, Germany made a decision to resume, what was this time, publicly announced unrestricted submarine warfare. Officials claimed that it was in fact a form of aggressive protection of her interests and safety. Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, German Chancellor, announced the intentions and reasoning to the Reichstag, Germany’s governing assembly, on the 31st, announcing the attacks on both neutral ships and vessels containing ammunition, soldiers or under orders of war to be indiscriminately attacked the following day, that is, the first of February. To many in Germany, this tactic seemed to be almost a last chance to assert their independence and power. The Allies and The United States proposed terms of negotiation which would only decimate Germany’s strength and pride. The prospect of surrender was unthinkable even if reasonable, and so a belligerent attack on all who may remotely be under the protection of or aid the Allied Forces was seen to be a powerful move from the German perspective.

The War At Sea
1. How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
One way the Allies aimed to use their navies in three ways was to blockade Germany. Britain used her Royal Navy in order to do that. Another way the navies were used was to cutoff all flow of supplies and food going to Germany. A third way the allies aimed to use their navy was by interfering with the cargo that was supposed to be going to Germany. The Royal Navy patrolled the North Sea to be able to do this.
2. How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
The Allied blockade caused problems mainly for Germany. The Allied blockade created more tension between Britain and Germany. The problems that tainted Germany was when what was done to them altered their economy for the worst. For example when their income of cargo was cut off and when tier supplies were sabatoged. Germany was also basically being watched by Britain in the North Sea so they can be terrorized.
3. How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
The Germans attempted to retaliate a couple of times. Germany's first attempt to counter the Allies was by using a new weapon that was able to weaken the superiority of the British naval. The Germans also had something to go against Allied shipping. They used submarines (U-boats) to help them in their plans to retaliate.
4. Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
The Battle of Jutland was took place in 1916 and was considered the greatest naval battle of the First World War. The commander of the German High Seas Fleet at the time of the battle was Reinhard Scheer and he wanted to create a plan. He wanted to return to the policy of making sorties (an attack made by troops coming out from a position of defense.) that would go in opposition to the British coast. The Germans had a way of communicating secretly through codes, but they had no idea that Britain would be able to decode them and Reinhard's plan was revealed. The Battle of Jutland was mainly comprised of counterattacks and was divided into for phases. The first phase was when Admiral Beatty ordered British battle cruisers to chase a part of the German force that was under control of Admiral Hipper (31 May) to the south towards main German fleet. In the second phase Admiral Beatty was being pursued North by German Dreadnoughts while he was trying to run away from danger. In the third phase the Germans thought that they were onto something with the British chasing them because two British cruisers were destroyed when chasing the Germans. This backfired on the Germans because they were under attack from Jellicoe's battle fleet, which they found pointless to interfere with because it was to far into the north. The fourth phase had Reinhard being forced to retreat by the British, but he attempted to escape through the Baltic. Reinhard later ordered a retreat. The final phase contained a night of extreme fighting and Germany using their lighter ships because their battleships were lost to their retreat to Britain.
5) Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917).
The German navy commanded a policy that would go against the Allies. That policy was unrestricted submarine warfare. This German policy consisted of arbitrarily attacking the Allies and shipping (both military and merchant) that they believed seemed odd with submarine torpedoes. It was pause but later resumed on 1 February 1917.

1)How did allies aim to use their navies in three ways ?
Well first the allies didn't want the Germains in the sea so Britian tried to block any supplies that came on ships. The way they did this is by useing the Royal navy , even so the allies did did exhange for there self. The main goal was to control the seas.
2)How did the allied blockage cause problems ?
The blockage caused alot of problems, because of the "trade blocks". What this really means that goods and supples that allies needed wasn't getting to them. Therefore trade in the ecomny was going down and alot of people were hungry. While this was going on it was bringing more hype towards Germany and Britain because Britain was keeping a close eye on them in the seas.
3) How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks ?
Germany tried to take over the sea, and tried to make a warzone bewteen them and Britian. What Germany did was use submarines, that could give Britain some damage. Germany was tired of taking strong attacks from Britain. Like Germany was really getting destroyed out in sea. Also what Germany did was use mines. By useing mines Germany destroyed 44 of there ships.
4)Describe the Battle of Jutland May 31,1916
This battle was bewteen the Germans and Britain. This was really the "Greatest naval battle of World War One". This battle was broken up into five parts:
1.The British started first by attacking a weaker Germany ship
2.Germany had a Dreadnought ship, that was very powerful and battle and won against to Britain ships.
3.Germany got to careless and got "under bombadment from Jellio fleet.
4.Scheer had retreated.
5.Was alot of gunpower , torepdo attacks but at the end Germany won.
5.Describe how unresticted submarine warfare began January 1917
This was all about the shipping got all messed up. This goes back to the goods and trades not going to were they were suppose to be. The reaction in April 1916 was the unrestricted submarine was because the Germany ship sank. Then the U.S made aletter and this how we kinda got into the war.

The allies used their navies to ambush the Germans. they would lure them into open seas and place an assault on them.
2) How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
The allied blockade cause problems because they withheld Germany from delivering trade for their trading countries and also they withheld Germany from delivering supplies, war materials,and troops to German military forces.
3) How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
The Germans retaliated by arming their submarines with torpedoes. On the months of September and October of 1914 the Germans sunken four British warships and cruisers.
4) Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
The battle of Jutland occurred in 1916. It was between Britain and Germany.This battle was considered the greatest naval battle in World War 1. During the battle Germany attain a great lost; She lost battle cruisers, pre-dreadnoughts, light cruisers and many destroyers. After that those losses Germany had never participated in any other sea war in ww1. Due to the outcome of the battle of Jutland, the British held the title of the most powerful military naval force.
5) Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917).
Unrestricted submarine warfare inaugurated on the January of 1915 but was reconstructed again in 1917 . It was created by Germany was a deadly threat against her enemies, especially the allied powers. Germany had announced that the body of water surrounding the British Isles was now considered a war zone, and any trading ships that entered would be assaulted. Because of this new claim, Germany went and sunk the Lusitania a British ship that was importing war materials of ammunition. and also Germany sunken 128 american ships that were vulnerable to attacks. When unrestricted submarine warfare was reconstructed in 1917 it was due to the blockade that was place upon Germany from the allied Powers.

1. How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
- The Allies aimed to used their navies in three ways by using the royal navy to blockade Germany, using the British Grand Fleets to confront the German High Seas Fleets, and using mines and submarines to attack Germany.
2. How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
- Great Britain used the Royal Navy in order to blockade Germany. Due to this allied naval blockade, Germany’s economy was damaged. By November 1918, the Government was not able to control Berlin or other cities as well. Another problem was that political and food disorders spread around Germany. The blockade also played a role in Germany’s renewal of free submarine warfare, which brought Americans into the war. When Germany invaded Belgium, they took over their civilian food supplies, which caused the lack of food in Belgium. Thanks to American food relief, Belgium was saved from starvation.
3. How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
- Due to the attacks of mines and submarines by the allies, Germans decided to retaliate by declaring that the seas all around the British Isles would be submarine warfare zones.
4. Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916)
- The Battle of Jutland was the greatest naval battle of World War One. Vice Admiral David Beatty commanded a British naval force while Admiral Franz von Hipper led a squadron of German ships. Later then, a building known as Room 40, cracked German codes and informed Admiral John Rushworth Jellice, the British Grand Fleets commander, of Vice Admiral Reinhard Scheer, the commander of the German High Seas Fleet, intentions. A battle of naval strategy between these four commanders had begun. The Battle of Jutland included 100,000 men on 250 ships over 72 hours. The German navy lost 11 ships, and suffered 3,058 casualties. 14 of Britain’s ships sunk and they suffered 6,784 casualties. On July 4, 1916, Scheer reported that further fleet action was not a choice, and that Germany’s best hope for victory at sea was submarine warfare.
5. Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917)
- By January 8, 1917, Germany was trying to convince the first army and Kaiser Wilhelm that the U-boat was an important component of Germany’s strategy for war. The supreme army command stated that unrestricted submarine warfare could result in a Germany victory by fall 1917. On January 31, 1917, Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg went to the German government announcing that unrestricted submarine warfare would continue the next day.

1. How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
ReplyDelete- They aimed to stop Germany with blockades using mines and submarine and strong British fleets. This was successful for the allies as they were able to actually slow down the Germans. But this was mostly a British victory overall.
2. How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
- The Allied blockade was mostly to slow down or stop Germany. This naval blockade was actually a critical part of war among many other battles. The British blockade was starting to take a toll on Germanys economy, their food production was starting to slow down and soon enough there became food shortages. They didn’t only block off the Germans but Austria-Hungary was also vulnerable to one, so the French blockaded the Austrians. The Central blockade was all an Allied effort.
3. How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
- The Germans decided to put a blockade around Great Britain blocking them from resources or incoming traffic from other countries. They used submarines and U-boats to take the ships down without warning (this tactic was call unrestricted submarine warfare and this was eventually the cause to bringing the U.S into the war).
4. Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916)
- This battle was claimed to be the best of all naval battles. It was claimed to be a British naval victory. I would say this battle started when the Germans thought that the British couldn’t read German codes and that British’s main battle fleet were in north at Scotland could not intervene but they were wrong. The British could in fact read the Germans codes and they were also well aware of their plans. At first British cruisers chased weaker German fleets south towards a larger main German fleet. Another time the Germans chased after British fleets with dreadnoughts. Both sides thought everything was going as planned but 2 British cruisers ended up destroyed. The Germans ended up retreating at one point when they were in a chase after British cruisers up north, which brought them in to a battle. But during that retreat the Germans ended up putting themselves in front of more British fleets. Pretty much they ended up losing if you could sort of figure out how that all went down.
5. Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917)
- It was one of the reasons why the U.S joined the war. But later on in 1917 the Germans were losing this war pretty badly and not all was well on their side of the war. So they came up with an idea of unrestricted submarine warfare. They thought if they was to jump to something like this that it would keep the U.S from joining the war to make it even harder for German forces to win the war.

The War At Sea Questions
1. How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
The allies used their navies to control the access of merchant shipping that was going to Germany, trying to prevent Germany’s warships from having any access to the world ocean and wanting to stop the Germans from going to the North Sea.
2. How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
The Allied blockade caused a lot of problems for Germany and their allies because there were not able to get their supplies. Many neutral countries were affected by the Allied blockade because it severed as a trading link with Germany that had been appreciated. Neutral merchant ships were inspected and escorted by British naval force to make sure that the supplies and resources were not able to get near in Germany.
3. How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
Germany used mines to attack and destroy the ships of their enemies. It was a good use because Great Britain lost about 44 of their ships to the attacks of the mines by Germany. Germany had these weapons that go underwater that was called submarines or U-Boats. It was a weapon that could stop any devastating effects of the blockade caused by the allied forces. So it was hard for the allied forces to attack Germany. Germany claimed that the sea around the British Isles would be a war zone for submarines.
4. Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916)
The Battle of Jutland was a big major naval battle during World War 1 because of the excessive weapons like guns and battleships. Even though the German High Seas Fleet was second-rate to the British naval forces, they still took on a dangerous pursuit to destroy a proportion of the British Grand Fleet. Germany was able to destroy two British battle cruisers: “Indefatigable” and “Queen Mary.” Great Britain received more casualties than Germany and it was considered to be a victory in the eyes of Germany, but Germany’s assaults on British Grand Feet were not enough to leave a huge impact on Great Britain. With the Battle of Jutland coming to an end, Great Britain was able to hold their ground and still held dominance over the seas.
5. Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began? (January 1917)
On January 31, 1917 Germany declared an Unrestricted Submarine Warfare. It was an act of desperation for Germany because the war was going downhill for them. The Battle of Jutland proved that Germany’s Navy was no match for Great Britain’s Navy. Germany was trying to comeback with the Unrestricted Submarine Warfare being the only shot at overthrowing Great Britain and getting a victory to regain over the seas. Some German officials opposed the Unrestricted Submarine Warfare because the officials feared that the act would cause United States to go to war. They were right because of Germany sinking the RMS Lusitania which had 128 Americans on the ship. This situation influenced the United Sates to enter World War 1 on April 6, 1917.

The War at Sea
1) How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
The Allies (at least to me) seem to know how to work more efficiently in the sea than at land. The Allies used many tactics in their navies but three of those aim that stand out the most where…
.To keep German navy fleets from reaching costal Britain land.
. Have any type of way to stop the German Navy from penetrating the border at sea that the allies formed in the navy.
.Control every single movement that Germans make so that if anything they could make them retreat which eventually was the outcome of this war at sea.
2) How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
The Allied blockade caused lots of problems in a Eurocentric view because this system of trading was already common and well understood between these European countries now, Britain’s navy started to patrol the North Sea and stop merchant chips to see if any of these items were sent to any Central Powers but most of these ships were coming into the neutral countries which some of these European countries loved to trade and have a trading affair with Germany. This pissed of the neutral countries that wanted these resources so they protested. This was a huge problem because it was a blockade of hunger which of course affected everyone. This madness didn’t stop till Germany signed a treaty known as the Treaty of Versailles singed in 1919.
3) How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
Germans retaliate with mine attacks by making this counterattack and doing evil for evil against the allies but doing the same and damaging this important resource that obviously they needed a lot for fuel etc. Now with the submarine attacks, Germany was sneaky and created this machine called U-boat which was made out of cheap material but it was powerful which almost gave Germany the victory at sea but using this cheap raw material didn’t last them for long so they had to retreat.
4) Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
From reading all of this information on this war I believe that this is the greatest naval battle of the Great War, World War 1. This war was between naval powers from Britain and allies versus great central power naval authority from Germany. This naval war was in the hands of Britain and they easily could have won this war in a blink of an eye but even if they ended wining, things weren’t so easy for them. Germanys plan was to go straight on ahead invading Britain but Britain came out to the sea and stop them. Both countries naval formation were similar which was like Germany being in front of a naval front from Britain. Germany almost had victory with some tactics like the U-ship but Britain resisted and made sure to make Germany retreat and obtain history.
5) Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917).
Unrestricted submarine warfare began with a man called Bethmann Hollweg which was a German Chancellor who announced Germany’s intentions to try to acquire unrestricted submarine warfare; he was highly concerned about provoking the United States to react to this. This is what exactly happened. Germany was losing success in the western front so they saw themselves pressured so being in a desperate mode; they decided to do this causing a reaction of the United States.

ESSAY:
ReplyDelete1. How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
The Allies, mainly Britain, employed their navies in different ways during World War
First, Britain was struck by Germany’s U-boat (submarine) offensive against both Allied and civilian ships, and committed to employ the convoy system in 1917. Britain’s convoy system aimed to protect British supply ships, troop carriers, civilian ships, and later American ships from German U-boat attacks by accompanying these ships with British navy and air forces.
Second, once war was declared Britain formed a blockade around German and Belgian ports. The Allies aimed to cut off supplies to Germany so as to “choke” their resources until they finally surrendered.
Third, France used their navy in many varied ways to aid the Allies, such as to defend from a suspected Austrian-Italian attack in the Mediterranean and to escort North African troops into Europe, evacuate defeated Serbs into the Greek island of Corfu, and forcing the Greeks into supporting the Allies.
2. How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
The Allied blockade caused many problems for Germany; their resource production could not catch up with the increasing demand. Nitrates, an important fertilizer and explosive ingredient, were used to create weapons instead of using them in the plantations to feed Germany. The Germans had absolutely no access to supplies outside of Europe. Soon, soldiers began having to ration and use substitute nourishment from whatever they could find; these substitutes were often of low nutritional value.
3. How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
The Germans launched their new U-boats, which are predecessors to modern submarines, as soon as the War started. U-boats were very important ships for Germany, as they were capable of stealthily attack Allied ships and sink nearly any class of ship. Later on, Germany began unrestricted use of these U-boats against both military ships and civilian ships. Germany used naval mines along British shipping routes to take down any British merchant or military ships.
4. Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916)
The Battle of Jutland was the greatest naval battle of the war, it was fought between Admiral Beatty’s and Admiral Jellicoe’s fleets from Britain and Commander Scheer’s fleet from Germany. The first phase of the battle was the encounter of the British navy with German scout ships, ships which lead them towards the main battle ships in the south. Then in the second phase, the British ships began retreating towards the north; pursued by German dreadnoughts. In the third phase, the Germans encountered Jellicoe’s fleet which surprised them. Next, in the fourth phase the Germans retreated after taking heavy hits from the British; then Scheer ordered the fleet to turn around once again to attack the British, took heavy hits again and retreated again. Lasty in the final phase, the Germans finally retreated. The Germans took heavy damage but lost less ships than the British.
5. Describe how the unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917)
Germany had already declared unrestricted submarine warfare in the past, in 1915 in response to the Allied blockade. They reinstated their war policy on 1917, with the thought that this strategy would bring victory to Germany by Fall of 1917. This policy stated that all areas around the British islands were “war-zones” and that any ship, whether it be civilian or naval, neutral or Allied, would be attacked by the German Navy. The German Navy sunk the Lusitania on 1917, which was carrying civilian passengers (128 Americans among them) and ammunition; the American government was angry at Germany for the loss of the American passengers, yet Germany used the presence of British ammunition as an excuse for the attack and merely apologized.

1.How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
The three ways from the Allies to use their navies were first to stop Germany on the north sea and Baltic sea or to make a plan against them. That was mostly the british navy. As a result of that, the Central Powers and Russia have been weakened. They also wanted to stop the merchant shipping to Germany and also exclute germany from anything else.
2. How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
The blockade caused problems because it was a strategy to resrict the freedom ot movement from
the battleships from the naval forces.
3.How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
The Germans atteckted and sunk british incomming and outgoing merchant ships (1915) with submarines and mines they topered the British passenger ship Lusitonia 1198 people died among them 128 US citizen.
4. describe the battle of Jutland
The battle of Jutland was the biggest balltle on sea in world war one. It was fought between Germany and the British 'grant fleet' of the royal navy. It was near Jutland thas the reason why its called the 'Jutland battle'.
Germany wated to attack the commercial marine to find out the position of british war Vessel.
The british news agency found out about it and planed to incircle the german fleet. The battle transfared towarts the main fleets of the germans. Therefore the british went north to get help from their main fleet. 250 ships fought in the battle of Jutland and no one really won the war but after that the british had the control over that part of the sea.
5.Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917).
Reasons for the beginning of the unrestricted submarine warfare were the battle of Jutland. Even tough this ballte ended with a pat, it had weakened the german contending powers and the use of submarines was seen as a way to streng the fleet. Also the increasing supply of materials from the us to france and great britain was a threat.

The War at Sea
1) How did the Allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
The allies aimed to use their navies by bring the Germans to a halt in the North Sea. A second way the allies aimed to use their navies was by governing the access of business shipping to Germany. The last way the allies aimed to use their navies was by avoiding any contact that Germany’s warships could have with the ocean.
2) How did the Allied blockade cause problems?
The allied blockade caused problems because from the time when Britain had created a blockade towards Germany, Germany no longer were getting any goods; such as food, gold and useful resources. The blockade blocked all connections with the trading system. Some of the outcomes of the blockade were many Germans were dying because of starvation and because of diseases due to poor nutrition.
3) How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
The Germans retaliated with mines and submarine attacks by using a special submarine called uterseeboat-U-boat-. These boats were used to prevent any materials from spreading to Germany.
4) Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
The battle of Jutland on May 31st, 1916 was the battle between the British and the Germans, located in the North Sea. The commander of Germany, Renihard Scheer, created codes for his team. Unfortunately, the British were able to read the codes, therefore being able to read all of the German codes. With the British knowing what the Germans plans were, they played it off acting like they didn’t know what the plan was a attacked the Germans.
5) Describe how unrestricted submarine warfare began (January 1917)
The way unrestricted submarine warfare began was by on January 8, 1917, Germany tried to persuade the first army that the U-boat was very useful in their strategy. At first the supreme army rejected this proposal, but then they rethought about it and they accepted using unrestricted submarine warfare in January 31, 1917.

The War at Sea Questions!
1) How did the allies aim to use their navies in three ways?
-Well, the first way was that during the war at sea the allies aimed their navies there to approach the Germans ships in the North. Another way was that they created barriers with their navies in Germany and Austria-Hungary to avoid any additional outbreaks. The third way was that they aimed there navies into using submarines and mines to ensnare Germany.
2) How did the Allied Blockade cause Problems?
-It caused problems because it stopped them from trading and getting the deliveries that they needed. For instance like war materials. Since that happen it cause the trading to decrease and it affect the people because they couldn’t get access to any food. The economy went down; it was going to lead to various problems.
3) How did the Germans retaliate with mines and submarine attacks?
-They retaliated by sinking some British supplied warships and killing almost 2,000 of their people. Germany also placed more than 30,000 mines which lead to great destruction for the British because it wrecked some of their boats and submarines.
4) Describe the Battle of Jutland (May 31st, 1916).
-The Battle of Jutland was fought on May 31, 1916, and it eroded little than 64 ships, but increasing of guns of 11 inches or larger. Germany and Britain tried to entice a small unit of the enemy fleets into the possession of its leading force. But
When the traps were over, the Germans navy wisely chose to break off the action since they were outnumbered. The British lost additional ships than the Germans in the battle, but whole the battle is usually seen as a British victory.
