Is the Zimmerman note

A secret telegram sent from the German government to the Mexican government suggesting that Mexico attack the U.S. and recover their territory previously lost to the U.S., with the intention that such a war would prevent the U.S. from joining the war in Europe.

The telegram was intercepted by the British via a tap on the transatlantic cable and broke the cypher. They passed a copy of the decrypted telegram to the U.S. government, which was one of the reasons that the U.S. entered the war in Europe against Germany.

What else can I help you with?
