The Zimmerman telegram to the German ambassador in Mexico was saying Mexico should enter World War I on the side of the Central Powers. This will get the US to fight on two fronts if it entered the war. If Mexico followed this telegram, it could've gained some of the land it lost during the Mexican-American War in 1846, like California, Nevada, Texas, Arizona, and other states in the region. Since the British intercepted the telegram and reported it to the US, this shifted US public opinion to pro-British and anti-German.
