It gave Germany a weapon against the large british fleet and brought the u.s. into the war when Germany fired a torpedo and sunk an american ship carrying produce into england.
The major reason for the US exchanging neutrality for the war of 1917 was that the Germans were using their ships to attack the Us ships. The US ships were carrying American citizens at that time.
Germany would attack ships (with U-Boats) from America that they thought were carrying supplies for other countries against them. Germany then attacked even U.S. passenger ships which lead to the Sussex Pledge, but after Germany broke that pledge is when America decided to join with the Allies against Germany.

The Gulf of Tonkin off the coast of Vietnam.
The French, Spanish, and really stupid pirates.
Most current Royal Caribbean Cruise ships can accommodate between 1,700 and 3,100 passengers. Therefore, the average is around 2,200 passengers. They have ships in development that will accommodate as many as 5,000 passengers!

From 1914-15, the central powers sank US ships carrying supplies to Britain. On May 7, 1915 the Germans sank the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner carrying 128 American passengers. This angered the american forces and after two years(Why two years, I don`t know!) the Americans sent troops to fight in World War I.
The united states watched WW2 on fold. President Roosevelt wanted to help the Allies, though most Americans did not want to join in on the war. He asked Congress to allow France and Britain to buy American Weapons. So, American ships were escorting British ships carrying guns bought from the U.S. By fall 1941, U.S. ships had the orders to fire on German submarines that threatened the ships. The U.S. and Germany were fighting an undeclared naval war.
The Germans had destroyed a US ship carrying cargo and passengers after the US told them not to touch their ships. The US was so mad that they fought against the Germans in the war.
