Zimmermann was a person and the Foreign Minister in Germany's government. He was the one to send the telegram that bears his name to Mexico to get them to invade America so the US would stay out of the war in Europe.
The first issue of "The Evening Telegram" was published on April 3, 1897 by William James Herder. Today "The Telegram" is owned by Transcontinal Media.
The Zimmerman Telegram was the catalyst that brought the United States into World War I. The Allied nations intercepted a German telegram to Mexico in which Germany promised to support Mexico in a bid to recapture territory it lost to the United States in the previous century (namely, California, Arizona and New Mexico) the Mexicans would go to war with the United States to distract it from joining the War in Europe. Whereas the German policy of unrestricted submarine warfare bothered President Woodrow Wilson more than any foolhardy proposition of Mexico, public fury against the Germans gave Wilson what he needed to finally join the side of the Allies and thus bring the United States into one of the most devastating wars in history.

The Zimmerman telegram was sent to Mexico, but intercepted by Great Britain who then decoded it and told the US about it. The Zimmerman telegram basically said "if you join us and help defeat the US, then we will help you get your land back that you lost in the Mexican War" The Zimmerman telegram was the finial act that made the US join the Allied Powers on WW1 I hope this helps!
