The Zimmermann telegram promised Mexicans to reconquer Texas as well as New Mexico and Arizona and that was a concern for the United States.

Explanation:

  • The Zimmermann Telegram was called a Confidential Communication Telegram, issued in 1917 from Germany's Foreign Office, and in this letter, Germany proposed an alliance with Mexico. The Telegram wrote that if the United States entered World War I, Mexico would regain Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
  • The letter was intercepted by the British Intelligence Unit. The revelations in this telegram have angered Americans, and the German Secretary of State Arthur Zimmerman has publicly acknowledged and resented the telegram he addressed to Mexico.
  • One of the key achievements of British intelligence during World War I was the disruption of intelligence in Britain.  The message in the Telegram was coded and transmitted by Arthur Zimmerman and sent to the German Ambassador in Mexico. The Germans felt that this telegram would inevitably lead to a German war with America.
