The Zimmermann Note led the United States closer to war primarily because it increased American public opinion against Germany. The note, which was a secret telegram sent from the German Foreign Minister to the German ambassador in Mexico, proposed a military alliance between Germany and Mexico in the event that the United States entered World War I. The revelation of this note outraged the American public and increased anti-German sentiment. This, in turn, pushed the United States closer to war as the government faced pressure to take action against Germany. Additionally, the Zimmermann Note resulted in more U-boat attacks on American ships, further fueling the anti-German sentiment and increasing the likelihood of the United States joining the war.
