Detailed explanation-1: -Submarine warfare In 1914 the U-boat’s chief advantage was to submerge; surface ships had no means to detect a submarine underwater, and no means to attack even if they could, while in the torpedo the U-boat had a weapon that could sink an armoured warship with one shot.
Detailed explanation-2: -The assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand (June 28, 1914) was the main catalyst for the start of the Great War (World War I). After the assassination, the following series of events took place: July 28-Austria declared war on Serbia.
Detailed explanation-3: -Additional successes came in the tight waters around the Dardanelles Straits in early 1915, but for the most part the submarines proved too fragile on the surface and too slow when submerged to be of much use against modern warships. Some submarine commanders preferred to hunt enemy merchant ships instead.
