In early 1917, British spies found a secret message from Germany's Foreign Minister, Arthur Zimmermann, to Mexico. He suggested that if Mexico joined Germany in a war against the United States, Germany would help Mexico get back land it lost to the US. The message also said Germany would start sinking ships, even those with American passengers. When the telegram was shared in American newspapers, many people became very angry at Germany. This message and Germany's decision to sink more ships helped convince the US to join the war in April 1917.
