The Zimmermann Telegram - that brought America to World War I
Today, Telegram stands for the app/product that is trying to compete with WhatsApp or Messenger. For those of you who can remember, telegram was one of the earliest instant communicator - it stood for the telegraphed messages that passed from one user to another via telegraphic offices globally.
Today we will be seeing significant big world event caused by a telegram. This telegram was sent from Germany, intended to a recipient in Mexico in the middle of the Great War.
Germany decided that the best way to keep America from dedicating men and arms to the War is to keep them busy on their side of the Atlantic. So they decided to get America's neighbour Mexico involved. The plan was simple - lure Mexico to attack the Southern United States by offering them support to reclaim lands in Nevada & Texas by offering ammunition support. This will ensure US will divert all its attention to Mexico and will not interfere in the ongoing European situation.
So Zimmermann, Secretary of State for the German Empire sent a telegram to the German ambassador in Mexico.
