The Zimmerman Telegram.
the zimmermann telegram
In 1917 a document now known as the Zimmermann Telegram was intercepted by the British. In it, Germany urged Mexico to form an alliance with them and wage war against the US. In return, Germany promised Mexico much of its old lands back, consisting of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
There were a number of "casus belli" (Latin for "Causes of War"), but the ultimate reasons were based on Germany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. The "Zimmerman telegram", a German diplomatic message addressed to Mexico, had proposed that Germany and Mexico should enter into an alliance in which previously Mexican territories such as Texas, New Mexico and Arizona would be restored to Mexico when Germany won the war. Mexico ignored the proposal, but the message was intercepted and decrypted by the British, who used it encourage the US to enter the war overtly on the side of Britain. This provided the final impetus for Congress to declare war.
The secret German note that urged Mexico to join the central powers was called the Zimmermann Telegram or the Zimmermann Note. The note was intercepted by British intelligence and the contents were revealed to the US. Mexico ignored the note and rejected the proposal when the US entered the war.

The Zimmerman note was a coded telegram sent by the German Empires' Foreign secretary Arthur Zimmerman to the ambassador in Washington, D.C. The Ambassador would then send it on to the German ambassador in Mexico on Zimmerman's request. The note was supposedly a proposal of a military alliance against the United States, and promised aid to help Mexico territories it had lost in the 19th century to America.
