Correct answer: a. The Sussex Pledge
Explanation/details:
- Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, <em>Lusitania,</em> which had happened in May, 1915. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the <em>Lusitania</em>, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship. After the <em>Sussex, </em>a French passenger ferry, was sunk in 1916, the US demanded and got a promise from Germany to stop their unrestricted submarine attacks. Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at that time by the Sussex Pledge. But two years, later, beginning February 1, 1917, the Germans resumed such attacks. This poised America to go to war.

-
The Allies, bolstered by American forces, had a hard time getting the formidable defences of the German war machinery, later in the war, whenever the Germans withdrew to the Hindenburg line (called after the head of German general staff, Paul von Hindenburg).
