How did the US find out about the zimmerman telegram?
British spies intercepted the telegram and gave it to the US government.Important telegrams were transmitted over long cables back then (they could be sent by radio, but then anyone with a radio could pick it up). Britain had cut Germany's cables to North America at the start of the war, so Germany asked to borrow the American cables; President Wilson agreed to allow it. But the American cable ran through part of Britain; British spies easily tapped into the cable and recorded everything that went through it- including Germany's telegrams. So the British caught the Zimmermann telegram when it was sent, and very quickly decoded it- the Germans had an elaborate code system that they thought was unbreakable, but the British had broken it early in the war.However, the British didn't want Germany to know that the codes were broken- as long as Germany didn't know, they would keep using the code and the British could keep reading their secret messages. So the British had to find another way to "prove" how they got the message without revealing the secret. They knew that the telegram would have to be transmitted through a certain office in Mexico, so they basically bribed someone in that office to give them a copy of the decoded telegram. Because the telegram had gone through American cables before being relayed to Mexico, the Americans would be able to tell that it was authentic.Once that was done, and the British were satisfied that the Germans still didn't know the codes were broken, the British gave the telegram to the American government; the Americans indeed verified that it had been transmitted, and President Wilson was furious.
What brought America into WW1?
1.) Germany had a plan to try and prevent Britain from getting supplies for war by using unrestricted submarine warfare (the German U boats). At first they only sank Allied ships, but one ship they sunk, a passenger ship called the "Lusitania", held a very large amount of passengers and many of them died. The U.S. threatened to go to war, but Germany backed down and stopped the sinking. After a little while, they thought they could bargain and started up again this time sinking allied ships as well as neutral ships. They thought they could be able to prevent Britain from receiving their supplies before the U.S. joined the war; they were wrong. 2.) Another event leading up to World War 1 was the Zimmerman telegram, a telegram sent from German to Mexico to joint the war on their side and defeat the Americans. Of course, it was caught and decoded (it was in a secret code) and the Americans stopped them. Mexico decided to stay neutral. The events that brought the usa in to WW1 were The Zimmerman Note and The America Acts.
