What would happen if the zimmerman note wasn't intercepted?
IF MEXICO WOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE ZIMMERMAN NOTE EITHER 1 OF 3 THING WOULD HAPPEN. 1. MEXICO ATTACKS THE U.S. UNTIL GERMANY CAN GET TO THE U.S. AND THEN GERMANY HELPS MEXICO REGAIN THEIR LOST LAND AND THEN GERMANY WOULD ATTACK THE U.S. AND TAKE OVER EVERYTHING. 2.MEXICO RECEIVES THE LETTER AND DECIDES NOT TO ATTACK , BUT TO GIVE THE "NOTE" TO THE U.S. AND THE WAR ENDS IN A YEAR. EITHER WAY IF THE "NOTE' WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN INTERCEPTED BY GREAT BRITAIN, HISTORY WOULD HAVE CHANGED AND MAYBE THE ALLIANCES AND OUT COMES IN WORLD WAR 2 WOULD HAVE ALSO CHANGED. Jonathan R.
Who was Arthur Zimmermann?
Zimmermann was the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Germany during World War I. It was his idea to send a telegram to Mexico offering support for an attack on the US to keep it out of World War I. Of course, it had the opposite effect when Britain intercepted the telegram and sent the decoded copy to America, which angered them enough to declare war the next day.
Which nation's actions led the US to abandon is neutrality and join World War 1?
will do my best but as i know the key in WWI for America to join was having a secret coded message intercepted and finding out this said pretty much for Mexico to attack America from the south so they would be distracted in their own war away from Europe so they did not join the triple Entente so all and all that is a key cause to why America joined in to the war

What promise is made in the zimmerman note?
it was asking Mexico to attack U.S and Germany promised to help regain some of Mexico's lost territory (Texas, New Mexico, etc) google it for better details *************** Germany feared that America would soon enter the war (World War I) and it knew that Mexico was still upset about its loses during the Mexican War. So German promised Mexico if it attacked America , if it entered the war, then Germany would help Mexico Financially and reward it by giving back all re-conquered land in New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona.
