On March 1, 1917, the American public learned about a German proposal to ally with Mexico if the United States entered the war. Months earlier, British intelligence had intercepted a secret message from German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the Mexican government, inviting an alliance (along with Japan) that would recover the southwestern states Mexico lost to the U.S. during the Mexican War of 1846-47.
The secret to the British interception began years earlier. In 1914, with war imminent, the British had quickly dispatched a ship to cut Germany’s five trans-Atlantic cables and six underwater cables running between Britain and Germany. Soon after the war began, the British successfully tapped into overseas cable lines Germany borrowed from neutral countries to send communications. Britain began capturing large volumes of intelligence communications.
British code breakers worked to decrypt communication codes. In October of 1914, the Russian admiralty gave British Naval Intelligence (known as Room 40) a copy of the German naval codebook removed from a drowned German sailor’s body from the cruiser SMS Magdeburg. Room 40 also received a copy of the German diplomatic code, stolen from a German diplomat’s luggage in the Near East. By 1917, British Intelligence could decipher most German messages.
Answer:
The answer to the question: Magazines that thrived prior to 1794 were widely read because they were given a generous postal rate to reduce distribution costs, is: True.
Explanation:
The distribution of newspapers, magazines and other such periodicals, has always been under some sort of subsidy from the U.S government. One such help was that initially, the U.S postal service would not charge for postage to the senders, and it only attempted to collect that fee from the receipients of the periodicals, or magazines. People would not necessarily pay the money the U.S.P.S would charge them, but still the periodicals were distributed in great numbers given the subsidies. In 1792, additional help was given to magazines, periodicals and newspapers, as the cost of postage was set even lower than when someone wanted to send a letter. So this further increased the availability of these media. However, it became a problem for the postal service, as they started to see a default problem for them: the senders either did not have to pay for postage, or the rate was very low, and then, receipients would not pay for the postage that was charged to them for receiving the media. This changed in 1874, when Congress passed legislation for publishers to prepay postage, but at a really low rate. This is why the answer is true.
