Best Answer

first answer:

Germany. They were still bitter about losing Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico territory to the U.S in the mexican-american war. Germany offered mexico this land in return if they attacked U.S from the border causing them to fight a 2 front war. One in Europe and one at the border.

Correct answer:

The first answer is referring to the First World War when Germany intended on asking Mexico (in the Zimmermann telegram) in 1917 if it would consider fighting the United States. The German Foreign Office in Berlin sent the telegram to the German Ambassador in Mexico. The contents of the telegram/cable were leaked to the press before the German Ambassador passed the question to the Mexican government. It is highly unlikely that Mexico would have gone to war with the United States (and lost) just because it would have helped Germany.

In the Second World War, Mexico eventually Declared War on Germany, although Mexican participation was limited. Several other nations in Central and South America also declared war on Italy, Japan & Germany after the Pearl Harbor attack & the subsequent German declarations of war.
