During World War I, Germany unleashed a much improved version of an old weapon, the submarine, in its war-making effort against its enemies. Thoroughly modernized and nightmarishly effective, the submarines wielded by Germany causes great losses among Allied merchants and severely restricted sea-borne trade among the same.
The first world war was waged between 1914 and 1918. The war was between the allies (non German European powers) and Germany. America kept out of direct commitment to the war (but it did trade with the allies) until 1917 when it sent troops to Europe on the side of the allies.
The U.S. government lent money to Germany after World War I primarily to help stabilize its economy and promote recovery. This financial assistance was part of the larger framework of the Dawes Plan in 1924, which aimed to restructure Germany's reparations payments and facilitate foreign investment. By supporting Germany's economic recovery, the U.S. sought to prevent political instability and the spread of communism in Europe. Additionally, a stable Germany was seen as beneficial for international trade and economic interests of the U.S. and its allies.
During most of WW1, the US remained a neutral nation. It tried to trade with both Great Britain and Germany, but Britain didn't allow the US to trade with Germany, so it set up a blockade.
President Wilson was unwilling to cut off trade with Britain in World War 1 because the profitable trade with the Allies was extremely important to the United States.
In 1914, the outbreak of World War I significantly altered global trade dynamics. Prior to the war, American businessmen were primarily ready to trade with the major European powers, including Britain, France, and Germany. However, as the war progressed, the U.S. shifted its focus to trade with the Allies, particularly Britain and France, as they sought supplies and materials to support their war efforts. This shift marked the beginning of a substantial increase in American exports to these nations, setting the stage for the U.S. economic boom during the war.

It increased America's economic ties with the Allies because British blockade of Germany caused American trade with the Central Powers to virtually cease.
The Blockade of the Sea, also known as the Blockade of Germany, occurred during World War I, starting in 1914 and continuing until the end of the war in 1918. The Allied powers implemented this naval blockade to restrict the Central Powers' trade and access to supplies, significantly impacting Germany's economy and contributing to food shortages. The blockade was a key strategy in weakening Germany and ultimately played a role in the Allies' victory.

Explain and outline the arguments for trade restrictions.
The British blockade during World War I aimed to restrict supplies and resources to Germany and its allies, effectively crippling their war effort. By controlling maritime trade routes and preventing the import of essential goods, including food and raw materials, the blockade sought to weaken the enemy's economy and morale. This strategy contributed to severe shortages and suffering in Germany, ultimately influencing the outcome of the war. The blockade was a key element in the Allies' broader strategy to achieve victory by limiting the enemy's capacity to sustain prolonged conflict.
Trade was restricted by the Continental System.
