how did the zimmermann telegram influence u.s. entry into world war i?
○ it announced the czar’s overthrow in russia
○ it described romania’s plan to abandon neutrality
○ it revealed a proposed military alliance between mexico and germany
○ it contained orders for german u-boats to destroy british passenger ships

Explanation:

The Zimmermann Telegram was a secret diplomatic communication from Germany to Mexico during WWI. It proposed a military alliance where Mexico would get U.S. territories (like Texas, Arizona, New Mexico) if it joined Germany against the U.S. The interception of this telegram influenced U.S. entry into WWI. The other options: announcing the czar’s overthrow (not related, the czar’s overthrow was later), describing Romania’s neutrality plan (not the telegram’s content), and U - boat orders to destroy British ships was part of unrestricted submarine warfare but not the Zimmermann Telegram’s main influence - triggering content.

Answer:

It revealed a proposed military alliance between Mexico and Germany
