Answer 1

The two true statements about the Zimmermann Telegram are:

A. The telegram was sent from Germany to Mexico. C. Germany was trying to get Mexico to attack the United States.

(Note: While option D is partially correct as it indicates Germany's intention to ally with Mexico against the US, option C is more directly aligned with the content of the telegram, which explicitly suggested that Mexico should attack the US.)
