Zimmerman Telegram is an Outrage

Information intercepted by the Brits proved to be an invaluable push to get the United States into the war. The Zimmerman telegram was a message to Mexico, promising that if Mexico helped Germany conquer the United States, they would recover all territory lost to the United states in the Mexican War. Not only does this push us to war, it forces us into the war. A proof of conspiracy against the United States requires retaliation.  Something like this is IMPOSSIBLE to ignore. Germany was fighting a battle of stalemates, one they possibly could have won. Morale on the Triple Entente's side was dying until the US showed up. Fresh minded and spirited troops easily took out the battered remains of German trench-ees, and raised to morals of the entire Entente. We didn't simply help win someone else's war, we protected our friends, partners, and investments as well.
