yes: The Zimmerman telegram's message was basically "If Mexico joined a military alliance against the United States, Germany would help Mexico recover the territories it had lost in 1848 including several western states." Even though Mexico refused, it strengthened Wilson's resolve against Germany and was one of the major factors pulling America into WWI (or, as it was known then, the Great War).
