Answer 1

C. Feb. 3 1917. Due to German navy's policy of unlimited submarine warfare, announced by Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollwegg, President Wilson announced that his government had no choice but to cut all diplomatic ties with Germany in order to uphold the honor and dignity of the United States. Though he maintained that We do not desire any hostile conflict with the German government, Wilson nevertheless cautioned that war would follow if Germany followed through on its threat to sink American ships without warning.
