The Zimmermann Telegram or Note
The British intercepted a telegram sent from Germany to Mexico asking the Mexicans to attack the U.S. if the U.S. got involved in WWI. They promised the Mexicans money and a return of AZ, CA, NM territory lost by the Mexicans to the U.S. in the Mexican American War of 1846-8.

The u.s. Intercepted a German telegram to Mexico that promised to help Mexico reconquer it's losses to America in the Mexican American war and America decided to stop Germany before this happened.
The telegram promised Germany would provide Mexico with financial and military support to recover Texas, New Mexico and Arizona from the United States, which had been lost during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).
In the Zimmermann Telegram, Germany tried to convince Mexico to start a war with the US, which would prevent the US from joining the Allies during World War I. In return, the Germans promised to send Mexico money and supplies to help fight their war. Additionally, Germany promised that if they won the war, Mexico would be allowed to take back Texas and California, which the US had taken from Mexico about 60 years earlier.
They refused the proposal, but by that time, the US had already declared war against Germany.
Mexico did, but indirectly. In the middle of WWI, Germany sent a telegram to the Mexican president, known as the Zimmerman Telegram. In it, Germany offered financial and military support to Mexico to reclaim Texas, New Mexico and Arizona from the United States. Before Mexico could answer the telegram, it had already been intercepted by British operatives in Mexico City, and retransmitted to Washington. It enraged president Woodrow Wilson, who used the telegram to support the cause for entering WWI. It did.
