2. The Zimmermann Telegram was a telegram dispatched by the Foreign Secretary of the German Empire, Arthur Zimmermann, on January 16, 1917, to the German ambassador in Mexico, Heinrich von Eckardt, at the height of World War I. It instructed the ambassador to approach the Mexican government with a proposal to form an alliance against the United States. It was intercepted by the British and its contents hastened the entry of the United States into the war.
3. "On the first of February we intend to begin submarine warfare unrestricted. In spite of this, it is our intention to endeavor to keep neutral the United States of America" It was important because they were going to launch a submarine attack but they didnt so they were pretty lucky.
2.)"secretly as soon as the outbreak of war with the United States of America is certain" No one knew that the war was going to happen. "invite Japan to immediate adherence and at the same time mediate between Japan and ourselves" Germany and Japan were working together..

3.The Zimmerman note was sent from a German official in Germany to a German official in Mexico asking him to join an aliance with germans, the germans told them that they would help get the USA back to for the mexicans. it was NOT germany asking mexico to attack us. (the english government intercepted this telegram and, instead of showing it to the american government, they gave it to the media, this forced americaa into the war.)
