Make a reasonable deduction. Why would
Germany want to encourage Mexico to
join the war and attack the United States?
Respond in at least three sentences.

Germany wanted to open a front in the Americas. With the "distraction" of Mexico attacking, it may lead to US cutting off supplies and troops that would have gone to the Western Front to fight to defend their own homeland. As the Allies were heavily dependent on US products & material, this shortage of supply would lead to a weakened front, easing the front for the Germans to take advantage of.
