Wilson Delivers Ultimatum to Germany At Congress
President Wilson warned Germany that continued unlawful submarine warfare would force the United States to break diplomatic relations. He announced an irrevocable decision to sever ties if attacks on neutral and American merchantmen persist, and he disclosed details to Senators Stone and Lodge and Representatives Flood and Cooper at the White House.
