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.

This table shows the voter turnout in percentages in different states, for both the Republican primary and the general election.
Option A is correct because the percentages are higher for the general election than for the primary in every state.
Option B and Option D assumes that the numbers represented are number of people, instead of <u>percentages</u>. We have no way of knowing what the absolute number of voters is per state.
Option C concludes the opposite of what the data shows.

Explanation:
- The domino effect or domino theory is a Cold War political term first used publicly by US President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954.
- During the Cold War, Western countries, and especially the United States, assumed a sudden territorial expansion of the Soviet Union and communist ideology. Domino theory assumes that in the event of a country falling into "communist hands", all its neighbors fall under its influence and in the short term also become communist. As dominoes, all the countries of that region would become communist and communism would spread uncontrollably.
- The Truman Doctrine is a US foreign policy plan to stop the spread of communism by giving Turkey and Greece economic aid.
- Marshall plan was the official plan of the United States to rebuild post-war Europe and counter the impact of communism after World War II.
