The Zimmerman was a telegram sent from Germany (after it had signed the Treaty of Versailles) to Mexico (a neutral country) in 1917!. The telegram was sent by Arthur von Zimmerman, a German Foreign Secretary!.

It had two proposals, one that Mexico should ally with Germany (against the US) and two, in return Mexico would receive Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico!. The problem was that the telegram was intercepted by the British who alerted the US!. It affected WW1 because then the US declared war on Germany in April 1917!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Zimmerman note was a note that the British (supposedly) intercepted from the Germans, who were trying to convince the Mexicans to join the war, in an effort to attack the United States!. As a result, the US entered the war!.
