The Zimmermann telegram was a telegram sent by Arthur Zimmermann, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the German Empire, on January 16, 1917 (during the First World War), to his ambassador to Mexico, Count Heinrich von Eckardt. In it the ambassador was instructed to bring to the Mexican government a proposal to form an alliance against the United States. It was intercepted by the British espionage services, and its content accelerated the entry of the United States into the war.

It was a secret diplomatic communication between the German Foreign Minister and the German Ambassador to Mexico in 1917 during the WWI. The goal was for Mexico to agree to be the Allies of Germany if the United States entered the war. In return, Mexico would recover Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.

What was the opinion of most Americans as the Civil War started

Leni [432]

Answer:

The answer is that they thought that it would be a short yet glourious victory.

Explanation:

The emotions among the people when the Civil War started was mixed. People were overwhlemed with the amount of killing, yet didn't want to stop it until they got their way. The Battle of Antietam is the deadliest one day battle in US history. So you can imagine how much that shook up the people back at home. Photography was also very new and for the first time their were pictures available of the battlefield. It was traumatizing, yes, but the main mind set during the Civil War was to kill as many people who didn't approve with you as you could to protect your lifestyle. (Sorry it's so long :P hope you understand now)
