In January of 1917, Germany proposed to Mexico an alliance to get back some of the lost territories during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Specifically, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. The telegram that contained such proposal was intercepted by British spies and delivered to American president Woodrow Wilson. At the time, Mexican-American relations were pretty strained, so Wilson was worried that Mexico might accept the proposal. It would have meant a war between Mexico and the United States, delaying the later from getting involved into WW1. The telegram was used as proof of Germany's bad intentions, and became one of the main reasons for the US entering WW1.
