Wilson Sends Ultimatum Note on Submarine Policy
President Wilson, after consultations with Congress, prepared an ultimatum to Germany regarding submarine warfare. The note, about 5000 words with a 2500 word appendix, signals a possible break in diplomatic relations and a move toward war if Berlin does not respond. Count von Bernstorff reacted with surprise but hoped for settlement. The State Department planned to publish the note shortly after copying.
