The Zimmerman telegram was a message sent from Germany to Mexico. As Germany recognized the potential threat of the United States, the Germans insisted Mexico to invade the United States and help support Germany, and in return, they would give Mexico land that the Mexicans lost from the Mexican-American War (Arizona, New Mexico, California, etc.). It seemed like a smart move, unfortunately, the British intercepted this message and made it public to the United States, which was one of the major causes of American intervention in World War I.
