Explanation:

The Zimmerman Telegram was a secret diplomatic communication from Germany to Mexico. It proposed a military alliance between Germany and Mexico if the U.S. entered World War I on the side of the Allies. In return, Germany promised to help Mexico regain territory lost to the U.S. (Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona). This enraged Americans and increased anti - German sentiment.

B. The telegram stated that Germany was working with Mexico to attack the U.S.
