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!
Germany and Mexico
Zimmerman likely admitted to the telegram because he understood its significance in the context of World War I and its potential impact on U.S. involvement in the conflict. Acknowledging the telegram allowed him to address the accusations directly and possibly mitigate any backlash from both domestic and international audiences. By being transparent, he may have aimed to maintain credibility and assert control over the narrative surrounding the event.
It affected public opinion, and helped convince US leaders to send American troops to fight in Europe.
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.

Zimmerman telegram
The Zimmerman telegram was published in the United States on March 1, 1917. It was a coded telegram asking Mexico to join Germany's side on World War I and Germany promised that if they join them that they would get their lost and back from the United States. Here is what they lost to the United States: New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. The zimmerman Telegram was the last straw for the United State and on April 6, 1917 the United States declared war on Germany.
The purpose of the Zimmerman Telegram was to get Mexico to attack the U.S. The German man Alfred Zimmerman sent the telegram January 19, 1917. The telegraph said that id they attacked the U.S. then they would help them get back the territory America stole from them (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico) They declined but America was angry so they joined the war against the Germans.
