The British embassy rejected Germany's claim that submarine warfare began as retaliation. It cited prewar incidents including the Admiral Ganteaume sinking with refugees on board, the torpedoing of British merchant ships, and the Asturias attack, arguing Britain acted legally and that London did not ratify the 1909 Declaration of London. The statement contends German mines and contraband expansion prompted British countermeasures.
