Wilson Moves Toward Ultimatum as Germany Crisis Deepens
The Wilson administration plans to present Congress with a stern diplomatic note to Germany, detailing violations of pledged submarine conduct. Officials expect a clear “last word” style document and possible break in relations if Germany ignores the ultimatum. The crisis follows a string of ship sinkings including Lusitania, Sussex, and others drawing the United States closer to war.
