Background Information

 

1. About the author ----- Allen F. Davis & Harold D. Woodman

The present text is based on the introduction to a book entitled Conflict and Consensus in Modern American History edited by Allen F. Davis and Harold D. Woodman, professors at Temple University and Purdue University respectively, who also wrote the introduction.

2. Woodrow Wilson

  Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), America’s 28th president(1913-1921), was a professor of law, the president of Princeton University, and the governor of New Jersey before he was elected to the White House. When Woodrow Wilson took office, he faced economic crisis, democratic decay, and a world at war. Meeting those challenges with progressive ideas and high-minded ideals, he reinvented the presidency, crafting a vibrant legacy that has defined the powers and responsibilities of every president to this day.

3. Zimmerman Note

 The Zimmerman Note was a communiqué authored by German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmerman and intercepted by American Intelligence. The note had been designed to entice Mexico into declaring war against the United States should the U.S. declare war on Germany. As a reward, Mexico would then receive Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas after the war.

 Full text of The Zimmermann Telegram: 

On the first of February we intend to begin submarine warfare unrestricted. In spite of this, it is our intention to endeavor to keep neutral the United States of America.

If this attempt is not successful, we propose an alliance on the following basis with Mexico: That we shall make war together and together make peace. We shall give general financial support, and it is understood that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory in New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. The details are left to you for settlement.

You are instructed to inform the President of Mexico of the above in the greatest confidence as soon as it is certain that there will be an outbreak of war with the United States and suggest that the President of Mexico, on his own initiative, should communicate with Japan suggesting adherence at once to this plan; at the same time, offer to mediate between Germany and Japan.

Please call to the attention of the President of Mexico that the employment of ruthless submarine warfare now promises to compel England to make peace in a few months.

Zimmerman

(Sent January 19, 1917)
