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.

The Zimmermann Note was a secret diplomatic communication sent by the German Empire to Mexico in January 1917 during World War I. It proposed a military alliance between Germany and Mexico, suggesting that if the United States entered the war against Germany, Mexico should attack the U.S. in return for the promise of recovering Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The note was intercepted and decoded by British intelligence, and its publication helped sway American public opinion against Germany, contributing to the U.S. entering the war.
