After the sinking of the Luisitania, a German named Alfred Zimmerman sent a telegram to Mexico. This telegram asked Mexico to take back the Southern states from the United States. The British intercepted this telegram and were more than willing to pass it on to the Americans(The British and French had been fighting for years at this time and needed reinforcements). Alfred Zimmerman's telegram had been the spark in a powder keg of hostile incidents towards the United States.
