Question

The Sussex Pledge________	U.S. involvement in World War I.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sussex Pledge was a promise made in 1916 by Germany to the United States, after the sinking of the French passenger ship Sussex, to alter their naval and submarine policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. This pledge, by addressing American grievances over the endangerment of civilian lives, effectively postponed U.S. entry into World War I by temporarily easing tensions between the United States and Germany.
