The Zimmerman Telegram. On January of 1917, the Foreign Minister of Germany, Arthur Zimmerman, sent a telegram to the German ambassador in Mexico with a proposal for military alliance. He was to offer Mexico material aid in exchange of the territories lost during the Mexican-American War, specifically the American states of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. However, it was intercepted by British intelligence and forwarded to the US government. This contributed to the US entering the war.
