Since the German Empire wanted Mexico to help it to rage war against U.S., Mexico, in turn, will get back some of the land that she lost from the last century
The Zimmerman telegram to the German ambassador in Mexico was saying Mexico should enter World War I on the side of the Central Powers. This will get the US to fight on two fronts if it entered the war. If Mexico followed this telegram, it could've gained some of the land it lost during the Mexican-American War in 1846, like California, Nevada, Texas, Arizona, and other states in the region. Since the British intercepted the telegram and reported it to the US, this shifted US public opinion to pro-British and anti-German.
cause they wanted to! =)
The events that caused the US to become involved in World War 1 were the unrestricted submarine warfare policy adopted by Germany, which targeted American ships; the revelation of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the US; and the sinking of the British passenger ship Lusitania, which had American passengers on board. These incidents led to mounting public pressure and eventually prompted the US to enter the war in April 1917.
i dont care but i think its cause were richer or something
A telegram intercepted by British Intelligence that had said that if Mexico were to attack American soil then Mexico would then gain, and more so, whatever land they had lost due to the annexation by the U.S. government. However, the United States had intended to remain neutral and did so until the sinking of 7 U.S. merchant ships and the public publication of the telegram.
Zimmermann Telegram
Zimmermann Telegram
Cuba was a US territory at the time. They did have designs on Mexico as was indicated in the so-called Zimmermann Telegram which was a coded or crypto document- and it was rapidly solved by the Yanks!

The Sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman telegram.
Two of them might be the Zimmerman telegram and the sinking of the Lusitania
Mexico was offered a deal by Germany in which they would be richly rewarded for siding with them in the first World War. It US Forces were tied down in North America, it might have given them an edge, or at least a better negotiating position. Mexico rejected the offer. For further details see the Zimmermann Telegram.

It stated that if the United States was to enter the war on the side of the Allies, the German ambassador to Mexico was to approach the Mexican Government offering a military alliance against the United States in exchange for German material aid to Mexico to help the Mexican government reclaim territory lost to the United States during the Mexican - American War.
The Germans sunk 7 US ships, and we intercepted a telegram from Germany that said they planned to attack us.
