What do you think might have happened if Mexico agreed to the provision of Zimmerman note?
New Mexico, Arizona and Texas had a large Anglo population (at around 5 million by 1917) which would have been very difficult to subdue and/or assimilate. Besides, Mexico was in the middle of its Mexican Revolution (1910-1921) and the Mexican President knew Germany would not follow on its promises: weapon shipments would be easily intercepted by American and British forces in the Atlantic, and no financial aid would help Mexico -- even gold payments would be useless -- as there were no large weapons factories in the Americas, besides those found in the Northeastern United States. If the Mexican president had accepted such proposition, Mexico would have triggered a short but bloody war against the United States, at a time when Mexico's population was 15 million and the U.S. population was 103 million. American ambitions towards Mexico's northern territories were no longer a factor, so colonization was not an option; maybe a coup d'etat or a blockade against the Mexican ports would have sufficed. It however, would have meant more poverty and destruction for Mexico, and a delay of several months for the United States to enter WW1 -- the actual reason of the German offer. This however, wouldn't have impacted much towards the end results of the war: the Allies won and the Central Powers including Germany, lost.
