Best Answer

A telegram intercepted by British Intelligence that had said that if Mexico were to attack American soil then Mexico would then gain, and more so, whatever land they had lost due to the annexation by the U.S. government. However, the United States had intended to remain neutral and did so until the sinking of 7 U.S. merchant ships and the public publication of the telegram.
