1. The German's practiced Unrestricted submarine warfare, which means they would attack anything and everything in the seas. A British ocean liner, The Lusitania was torpedoed and sank within an hour. 128 Americans lost their lives. We wanted revenge. 2. A telegram was intercepted in London from Germany to Mexico, suggesting a secret alliance that if America attacked German land, Mexico would attack the states, and if they won, Mexico would get back Texas. This has been labeled The Zimmerman Telegram. Because it was made public, the deal never went through. Again, this made us madder at Germany.
