In 1917, the British decoded a secret message that was for Mexico, from Germany. This telegram is known as the Zimmerman Telegram, and in it stated that if Mexico joined forces with Germany, against the United States, they would get numerous territories in America when Germany won the war.
This was the direct cause of the United States joining World War I. The Zimmerman Telegram finally made President Woodrow Wilson declare war on Germany.
