Initially the Americans were not used to the kind of fighting that was now taking place on the Western Front.Initially thr US GEnerals still used old fashioned tactics such as cavalry charges that had been used for 100s of years.WW1 was the 1st 'Industrial war' where weapons were made on a huge scale in factories.This meant things like machine guns could be used en mass thus mowing down 10s of thousands of men at a time.It was also the 1st 'static war':Troops from each side lived in trenches sometimes only yards apart.Strips of land were often taken by one side in a battle only for the other side to fight & win ther land back, sometimes only hours later.Stalemate was reached for at least a few years.
It also taught the USA the advantages of turning factories to war production very quickly & made USA the most powerful country in the world.

Why did German threat to sink all ships in British waters push the US to declare war?
This question was put into the categories of World War 1 and World War 2. The answer is that the US did not declare war in either war for the reason that the Germans threatened to sink all ships in British waters. World War 1: President Wilson chose to declare war on Germany in World War 1 when he learned from the Mexican Government that the Germans wanted to attack the US through the US borders and Gulf of Mexico. World War 2: President Roosevelt declared war after the Japanese bombed the US Naval ships and planes in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
