The Zimmerman telegram was a message sent from Germany to Mexico. As Germany recognized the potential threat of the United States, the Germans insisted Mexico to invade the United States and help support Germany, and in return, they would give Mexico land that the Mexicans lost from the Mexican-American War (Arizona, New Mexico, California, etc.). It seemed like a smart move, unfortunately, the British intercepted this message and made it public to the United States, which was one of the major causes of American intervention in World War I.
The United States had to declare War on Germany and its allies because of what the telegram had from Arthur Zimmermann, the minister of Germany, to Von Eckhardt, the minster of Mexico, that if Mexico were to join Alliances they would help Mexico get back what The United States took from them during the Mexican-American War. The States that The Untied States Won From Mexico were Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
They were outraged over a possible German-Mexican alliance.The Zimmermann Telegram provoked widespread outrage in the United States. For many, it was the final straw in a string of incidents blamed on Germany.
The Zimmermann Telegram (or Zimmermann Note) was an invitation from the Arthur Zimmerman, the Foreign Secretary of the German Empire, to the German Ambassador to Mexico. If Mexico would join forces with Germany, they would be given American land when the war was over.
The Zimmermann telegram, sent by Germany to Mexico in January 1917, proposed a military alliance against the United States, promising Mexico the return of lost territories (Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona) in exchange for its support. When the British intercepted and revealed the telegram, it outraged the American public and government, intensifying anti-German sentiment. This direct threat to U.S. sovereignty and the prospect of a more significant conflict prompted President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war against Germany in April 1917.
Two key German actions that prompted the U.S. to enter World War I were unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram. Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in early 1917 led to the sinking of American merchant ships, heightening tensions. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the U.S., further inflamed public opinion and pushed the U.S. towards war.
The Zimmermann Telegram was sent in January 1917 during World War I.

Zimmermann was the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Germany during World War I. It was his idea to send a telegram to Mexico offering support for an attack on the US to keep it out of World War I. Of course, it had the opposite effect when Britain intercepted the telegram and sent the decoded copy to America, which angered them enough to declare war the next day.
They are concepts that started US involvement in World War One.
