Uboats were made to attack and sink merchant ships carrying supplies to Great Britain. Germany knew if they managed to cut Britain's supplies off then they would be unable to continue the war.

As the war progressed, more and more were built to combat military ships as well as merchant vessels. Hope this helps.
