It had a very large role. America was divided on whether to get involved and if so with what side. It helped to gain sympathy that the British spoke English and that the Germans were attacking American ships with the U-boats. The American public was outraged by the Zimmerman Telegraph which proposed Germany bringing Mexico into the war and helping them regain lost territories should hostilities break out. It turned the tide against Germany in the area of public relations.

In the Great War, American public opinion turned against Germany following persistent attacks by submarines on merchant shipping. The most notorious sinking was that of the passenger steamer RMS Lusitania on 7 May 1915 when 1198 out of 1959 passengers and crew were killed.

What turned American opinion against Germany during World War 1?

The Zimmerman Telegram, which was a telegram sent by the German ambassador telling Mexico to attack if the U.S. declared war.


How did the zimmerman note affect American public opinion about the war?

The Zimmerman telegram to the German ambassador in Mexico was saying Mexico should enter World War I on the side of the Central Powers. This will get the US to fight on two fronts if it entered the war. If Mexico followed this telegram, it could've gained some of the land it lost during the Mexican-American War in 1846, like California, Nevada, Texas, Arizona, and other states in the region. Since the British intercepted the telegram and reported it to the US, this shifted US public opinion to pro-British and anti-German.
