Zimmermann Note-a coded telegram sent by the Foreign Secretary of Germany, Arthur Zimmermann on January 16th, 1917
It sent to the German Ambassador in the US, Johann von Bernstorff
The Note was intercepted and decoded by British Intelligence
The Letter was given to the American Press on in March 1917
It tried to get Mexico to declare war on the US
Germany Promised Mexico that they would get the Mexican Cession back if they won
Germany Wanted to keep the US out of Europe
This was due to the bad relationship between the US and Mexico
This Backfired, and The US didn't stay neutral, and joined the War on the Allies side
