The British intercepted the Zimmermans telegram
The secret Zimmermann Telegram was given to President Woodrow Wilson by British intelligence. The British had intercepted the telegram, sent by German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to Mexico, proposing a military alliance between Germany and Mexico against the United States. British officials believed that revealing this telegram to the U.S. would help sway American public opinion in favor of entering World War I on the side of the Allies.
It was Germany, during WWI. On January of 1917, the Foreign Minister of Germany, Arthur Zimmerman, sent a telegram to the German ambassador in Mexico making this proposal. However, it was intercepted by British intelligence and forwarded to the US government. This contributed to the US entering the war.
Germany sent Mexico a document trying to get them to declare war on the USA and thereby prevent USA from entering the war on the side of the Allies. The British intercepted the document and after they showed it to the Americans, the USA declared war on Germany, entering WWI.
Yes, British intelligence had intercepted German communications that indicated an attack on Coventry was planned. However, the specific target was not definitively known, and the British government chose not to evacuate the city to maintain the element of surprise regarding their intelligence capabilities. This decision was part of a broader strategy to mislead the Germans about the extent of British cryptographic successes. Consequently, Coventry suffered significant damage during the bombing raid on November 14, 1940.

The British government intercepted a communication known as the Zimmermann Telegram during World War I. In this secret message, Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States, promising the return of territories lost in the Mexican-American War. The British decoded the telegram and shared it with the U.S., which helped galvanize American public opinion in favor of entering the war against Germany. This interception was a significant factor in shifting the U.S. stance from neutrality to active involvement in the conflict.
