 Zimmermann Telegram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zimmermann Telegram (The Zimmermann Note) was a coded telegram dispatched by the Foreign Secretary of the German Empire, Arthur Zimmermann, on January 19, 1917, to the German ambassador in Mexico, Heinrich von Eckardt, at the height of World War I.
In an unexpected move, Zimmermann confirmed the authenticity of the telegram on March 3, and again in a speech on March 29, 1917.
There was a ring of honesty in the speech since Zimmermann would have had occasion to reflect on the impact of the telegram and its after effects in the meantime, but he was still prepared to defend its original ideas.

Reproduced below is the speech given by the German Foreign Minister Dr Arthur Zimmermann in which he confirmed the authenticity of the so-called Zimmermann Telegram.
In the telegram - in the text below Zimmermann dismissed suggestions that he separately wrote a letter to the Mexican leader General Carranza - Zimmermann suggested that Germany seek a military alliance with Mexico in the event that the U.S. entered the war against Germany.
Zimmermann argued that there was nothing reprehensible in sending such a telegram, since Germany only intended to seek an alliance with Mexico were the U.S. to open hostilities against Germany.

 Zimmermann Telegram
Zimmermann sent a telegram to the President of Mexico, stating that in the case of America entering the war, then Germany would support a Mexican invasion of America, helping it to reclaim territories such as Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
If Zimmermann’s plan worked, then America would be too busy defending itself at home to become involved in the European conflict.
Zimmermann had encrypted the telegram, and assumed that the German codes were strong enough to protect his message, but he underestimated the skills of the British codebreakers, who immediately set to work deciphering the telegram.

 The Hidden History of the Balfour Declaration
During that period Arthur Balfour was British prime minister, and the Zionists had retained the London law firm of Lloyd George, Roberts and Co. This firm was chosen because one of the partners, David Lloyd George, was an MP and thus in touch with Foreign Office thinking.
The first, which both Zimmermann and Bernstorff considered to be by far the more important, informed Bernstorff of the decision to resume unrestricted submarine warfare on Feb. 1, 1917, and gave him instructions on when and how to inform the American government.
Zimmermann was called on to testify before the Reichstag and had no choice but to admit it.

 The Zimmermann Telegram
It may be recalled that the ZT was sent by German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the German ambassador in Mexico City suggesting a German-Mexican alliance in case of war between Germany and the United States.
Howe’s second statement appears to conflict with Zimmermann’s confirmation, in answer to a question in the Reichstag, that the ZT was genuine.
Zimmermann did not state the source of the report but said that it could be found on page 14 of title 5 of “the compilation.” Presumably the compilation was something which was handed to members of the examining committee.

Zimmermann believed in such instance, Mexico would attempt to gain the assistance of Japan by offering an invasion base within Mexican borders.
Zimmermann as well challenged the United States to prove the authenticity of the telegram; the U.S. government was not able to derive conclusive evidence to prove that the telegram was not indeed a forgery.
The Zimmermann Telegram, sent to Mexico solely as a precautionary measure before their declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare, may well have cost Germany the War.

 The Zimmermann Telegram   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
At first blush the German plan might seem farfetched, but it should be recalled that many Mexicans still harbored resentment for the conquest of their "lost territory" in the Mexican-American War of 1846-48.
Moreover, aggressive attempts by the Wilson administration to capture Pancho Villa and stabilize the Mexican political situation brought the two neighboring countries to the brink of war in 1916.
Public reaction to the Zimmermann note was predictable (outrage) and added to the growing pressure for U.S. entry, but remarkably the president still resisted.
