What policy did Tirpitz advocate that eventually brought Germany into conflict with another country?

  • Unrestricted land warfare

  • Unrestricted air warfare

  • Restrictions on naval trade

  • Unrestricted submarine warfare

Answer

Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz was the architect of the German navy and advocated for unrestricted submarine warfare against Britain during World War I. He believed that this policy would bring Britain to its knees by cutting off its supplies from overseas. However, unrestricted submarine warfare led to the sinking of neutral ships, which eventually brought the United States into the war against Germany.
