Nothing. Mexico was in the middle of a civil war known as the Mexican Revolution (1810-1821). During those years however, Germany sent a telegram to Mexican President Venustiano Carranza, offering economic and military support to retake Arizona, New Mexico and Texas from the United States. Before Carranza could respond, the telegram was intercepted by British intelligence and handed over to President Woodrow Wilson, resulting in United States involvement in World War I.
