Location
-Why does location matter?
-The routes that American merchant ships took went into areas of German submarine war zones.
-The British confiscated American goods traveling to Germany.
-Britain benefited from American neutrality which forced Germany to target merchant ships.
-The growing use of unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany involved the loss of life of many innocent people.
-The attacks on civilian ships convinced Americans that Germany had declared war not just commerce, but people, too.
-America was geographically isolated from Europe because of the vast Atlantic Ocean.
-The distance of America and the battlefields of Europe posed a far lesser threat to America, leaving most of its assets unharmed.
-This created highly motivated, well-equipped, and strong soldiers.
