on january 16, 1917, in a clear attempt to convince the mexican government to germany in the war, arthur zimmermann, the german foreign secretary, sent a telegram to count von bernstorff, the german ambassador in washington. the foreign secretary wanted to be certain that this message reached von bernstorff, 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 didn't know was that the british were doing a thorough job of intercepting german wireless transmissions.

a. the german u-boat was grounded because it needed repairs.
