Preventing the resupply of Allied forces.
German U‑boats were used mainly for commerce raiding—sinking merchant shipping to blockade Britain and starve the Allies of food and materiel. This submarine campaign (especially unrestricted submarine warfare) was the most strategically significant use of submarines in WWI and ultimately helped bring the United States into the war.
