What was the Zimmerman telegram and how did this change the course of the war for the United States?

The Zimmerman Telegram was essentially a diplomatic report issued from the German Foreign Office in 1917 that stated Germany's intentions to ally with Mexico in World War I. This greatly changed the course of the war for the United States because prior to its release, the United States took a very isolationist approach and was not going to intervene in the war. However, this prospective alliance led the United States to 'forego' its previous isolationist attitudes and intervene in the war.
