Why did the Zimmermann telegram cause the US to enter the war?

The Zimmermann telegram, sent by Germany to Mexico in January 1917, proposed a military alliance against the United States, promising Mexico the return of lost territories (Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona) in exchange for its support. When the British intercepted and revealed the telegram, it outraged the American public and government, intensifying anti-German sentiment. This direct threat to U.S. sovereignty and the prospect of a more significant conflict prompted President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war against Germany in April 1917.


What is the Zimmerman message?

The Zimmerman Message was a coded message that was intercepted and decoded by British Intellegence. On January 16, 1917 Author Zimmerman sent a message to the German Ambassador in Washington. The message proposed that Germany and Mexico form an alliance if US entered the first world war. It stated that Germany was going to begin unrestircted submarine warfare on February 1, 1917. They wanted to keep US neutral but if it didn't succeed, they wanted an alliance with Mexico so that if US entered the war against Germany they would have the Mexicans to their south to face as well.
