cause they felt like it
we didn't. the US joined the Allied powers.
Mexico
No. The Central Powers were Germany, Austria and their allies. The US joined the Allied Powers, which included Britain and France.
The Zimmermann telegram was actually intercepted and decoded by the British, then given to the US. In it Mexico was promised the return of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico if they would join Germany.
it finally realized what Germany was doing and the central powers were fighting for
The secret German note that urged Mexico to join the central powers was called the Zimmermann Telegram or the Zimmermann Note. The note was intercepted by British intelligence and the contents were revealed to the US. Mexico ignored the note and rejected the proposal when the US entered the war.
the central powers were taking a lot of countries over and when the us joined it was in 1917 because they were tired of being an isolationist.
first of all the U.S didn't join anyone the allies powers joined them.
Both powers were a combined alliance of nations, the allies were; Great Britain, France, Spain, Belgium,(eventually the US would join the war but in 1918). The Central Power were; Germany(Remember, just Germany not "Nazi" Germany because the Nazi's were WW2), Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria( Italy would eventually switch over to the allies.
The U.S. might have joined the Central Powers because they had a lot of Irish and German immigrants coming in to the country. The Irish hated the British and the Germans wanted to help their old home.
It was hard for the US to trade with the Central Powers because of the British Blockades, boats that blocked the way to Germany.
They were angry with Germany because of the Zimmerman telegram and also remembered such events as the sinking of the Lusitania, the propaganda about the heavy handed German treatment of Belgium, among other things.
