The Zimmermann Telegram or Note
Mexico
Most probably, you are referring to an alliance between Mexico and Germany during WW1. It was Arthur Zimmerman, German ambassador in Mexico. His "Zimmerman note" was intercepted by British intelligence and forwarded to the American government, hastening American entry into WW1.
all of these answers are correct[The Zimmermann note added to America's reasons for war because it discussed the invasion of California and Texaswas said to be sent from Germany to Mexicourged Mexico to join the Central Powers.]
The Zimmerman telegram was a message from the German foreign secretary to the President of Mexico proposing an alliance in 1917. The German suggestion that Mexico attack the United States precipitated the American entry into World War I shortly after the contents of the telegram were published.A note sent in 1917 from the German foreign minister to his ambassador in Mexico, containing details of a proposed alliance against America.
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 telegram sent on 16 January 1917 by the Foreign Secretary of the German Empire to the German Ambassador in Washington, DC, with instructions that it be forwarded to the German Ambassador in Mexico. The coded text was intercepted and decoded by the British who provided it to the US government. The contents of the note, published in US newspapers on 1 March 1917, caused public outrage. The Note proposed that, in the event of the US entering the European War opposed to Germany, the German Ambassador should seek Mexican help in brokering an alliance between Germany and Japan. The German Ambassador to Mexico should then also propose a military alliance between Germany and Mexico in which Mexico would receive aid in reclaiming Texas, New Mexico and Arizona from the US.
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.
