- This telegram was part of an effort to 1. bring Mexico into World War on the side of Great Britain and France 2. form an allia
nce between Germany and the United States 3. enlist Mexican support for Germany if the United States declared war 4. convince several western states to secede from the United States
While you didn't provide us with any concrete answers, this relationship is something related to an alliance, but in reality isn't one because the smaller country is only doing this because they're afraid of repercusions.
