British government leaders didn't present the Zimmermann telegram to Wilson for a few weeks. Hall reminded them that outrage was
growing in America over Germany's announcement late in the day of January 31 that the German navy would resume unrestricted submarine warfare. In fact, that policy provoked the U.S. government to cut diplomatic relations with Germany in February. On February 24, when Hall sensed that the Zimmermann telegram would tip the balance in favor of the U.S. joining the Allied forces, the British home secretary presented the telegram to President Wilson. One week later, news of the Zimmermann telegram was splashed across the front page of American newspapers. On April 6, 1917, the Congress of the United States declared war on Germany and its allies.

The details in this passage lead to the inference that the British waited until they were sure the telegram would encourage the US to enter the war. Hall knew that "outrage was growing in America over Germany's announcement late in the day of January 31 that the German navy would resume unrestricted submarine warfare." Hall knew that the US was close to getting involved in the war, but he waited until "February 24, when Hall sensed that the Zimmermann telegram would tip the balance in favor of the U.S. joining the Allied forces." Because Hall waited to share the telegram, a logical inference is that he wanted to be sure that it would be effective when he did.
The growth of the Industrial Revolution depended on the ability to transport raw materials and finished goods over long distances. There were three main types of transportation that increased during the Industrial Revolution: waterways, roads, and railroads. ... The roads also improved immensely during this time period.
Generally speaking, industrialization greatly reduced social inequality by creating a "middle class" of people, who were able to significantly increase their incomes due to the large number of jobs available in factories.
