1917 - Zimmerman Telegram
P
A telegram was sent by the Germans to the Mexicans early in World War One. In it, the Germans suggested that the Mexicans could assist the Germans with attacking the United States, and could get back the territory that they lost in the Mexican American War. The telegram was intercepted by the British, who told the United States who responded to the threat. This made the Germans seem very evil to the Americans.
