The United States broke diplomatic relations with Germany in 1917 due to the introduction of Germany's Navy policy of unlimited submarine warfare.

Further Explanations:

The actual conflict amid the United States and Germany began on 7th May 1915 when Germany purposely sank the British submarine “Lusitania” having more than a thousand commuters along with 100 American. As a result of it Unites States broke all its diplomatic relationships with Germany and pronounced its policy of unobstructed warfare. After it, Germany sank five more US navy that annoyed President Wilson even more. He though was in favor of neutrality, decided to enter the war and confirmed its entry on 6th January 1917. American's started hating German and considered them as their foe. Spite of it Americans never declared war on the central powers like Bulgaria, The Ottoman and other central allies. The war left a profound impact on the lives of citizens of both the nation as many publications of Germany were ceased and cities and buildings were renamed.

German-American relationship has existed since 1871, generally based on commerce and immigration. When Germany unified itself it became more dominant and powerful, their relationship encountered some mere fraction. The fraction was on issues of navy and economy. The factions were much less and were overlooked during that era.

In what became Canada, Great Britain conquered the French who had the colony of Canada before their defeat in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. In what became the eastern part of the US, Britain promoted the emigration of people from the British Isles to the new 13 colonies and began trade with them and so forged economic ties with them which eventually became very unfair to the American colonies. In Canada, furs were bought from the First Nations people at a low price and sold in Britain and Europe.
