Read the excerpt from The Dark Game Why did Zimmermann choose to send the message
through the US State Department?
On January 16, 1917, in a clear attempt to convince
the Mexican government to help Germany in the war,
Arthur Zimmermann, the German foreign secretary,
sent a telegram to Count von Bemstorff, the German
ambassador in Washington. The foreign secretary
wanted to be certain that this message reached von
Bemstorff, so he made arrangements for it to be
carried aboard a U-boat to Sweden and from there to
Washington through diplomatic channels
As luck would have it the departure of the sub was
delayed. Impatient Zimmermann turned to his second
option: sending the message to his ambassador
through the U. S. State Department. Although Wilson
considered the United States to be neutral, he allowed
messages to be sent to von Bernstorff via the State
Department as a courtesy. The telegram sent,
Zimmermann waited for a reply. What Zimmermann
O The German U-boat was grounded because it
needed repairs
O The Americans planned to enter the war and side
with the Germans
O The content of the message was extraordinarily
important
O The safest way of transmitting messages was by
telegram

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
