Zimmermann Telegram decrypted and translated
from: w:en:Image:Zimmermann-telegramm-offen.jpg 2003-05-17 14:28:04 . . Eloquence
From 2nd from London # 5747.
"We intend to begin on the first of February
unrestricted submarine warfare. We shall endeavor
in spite of this to keep the United States of
America neutral. In the event of this not succeed-
ing, we make Mexico a proposal or alliance on the
following basis: make war together, make peace
together, generous financial support and an under-
standing on our part that Mexico is to reconquer
the lost territory in Texas, New Mexico, and
Arizona. The settlement in detail is left to you.
You will inform the President of the above most
secretly as soon as the outbreak of war with the
United States of America is certain and add the
suggestion that he should, on his own initiative,
invite Japan to immediate adherence and at the same
time mediate between Japan and ourselves. Please
call the President's attention to the fact that
the ruthless employment of our submarines now
offers the prospect of compelling England in a
few months to make peace." Signed, ZIMMERMANN.
