How did the zimmerman note and lusitania led to world war 1?
They did not lead to war; they were part of the war. They were, however, factors in the United States' decision to enter the war.
Who thought the Zimmerman Note was a hoax?
The Zimmerman Note was not a hoax; however, the translation of the coded document could've been doctored in order to get the kind of reaction from the United States citizens that was needed at the time. Due to the withdrawal from the war by Russia and the demoralized and downtrodden French soldiers on the Western Front, Germany was moving ahead in the war. Furthermore, Germany changed it's policy on unrestricted submarine warfare in order to defeat Great Britain. The United States and Woodrow Wilson, sensing that Germany was moving on it's way to victory, got just what it needed to declare war on Germany and appease the isolationist points of view of the US citizens.
