Americans were outraged by the Zimmermann Note because it revealed a secret proposal from Germany to Mexico, encouraging Mexico to join the war against the United States in exchange for the return of territories like Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. This revelation heightened fears of a direct threat to U.S. sovereignty and security, fueling anti-German sentiment. The note, intercepted and decoded by British intelligence, played a crucial role in swaying public opinion and ultimately contributed to the U.S. decision to enter World War I.
