Question

Why did Zimmermann choose to send the message through the U.S. State Department? The German U-boat was grounded because it needed repairs. The Americans planned to enter the war and side with the Germans. The content of the message was extraordinarily important. The safest way of transmitting messages was by telegram.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Zimmermann telegram caused the US to enter the World War 1 and join the Allied forces with Britain and France.
