important? Check all that apply.
On January 16, 1917 in a clear attempt to convince the
Mexican government to help Germany in the war,
Arthur Zimmermann, the German foreign secretary, sent
a telegram to Count von Bernstorff, the German
ambassador in Washington. The foreign secretary
wanted to be certain that this message reached von
Bernstorft, so he made arrangements for it to be carried
aboard a U-boat to Sweden and from there to
Washington through diplomatic channels.
