During ww1 when the British started to blockade Germany the Germans decided to do the same. They basically just made sure that transports didn't make port by partially disabling them. However there was at least one occasion where a German submarine fired at a "neutral" British ship and it immediately exploded, something that should not haplen from a torpedo blow. Basically the British used neutral ships to smuggle munitions and when the German sub fired at it it exploded and the Brits were like "wtf Germany you killing civilians" even though it was this fault for smuggling explosives. That's also the main reason the US joined in on the British side because Britain managed to play innocent enough for it to look like it was all Germany's fault.
