This was the Zimmerman Telegram!!!

It was sent out January 1917, before the US entered the war.

It was said to be intercepted by the British forces, and after it leaked, Zimmerman confessed March 3rd.

Zimmerman's confession made Americans really hostile, thus helping progress the Anti-German sentiment and pro-war agenda for the US.
