Jan Hahn · Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The United States was shown a letter from Germany encouraging Mexico to invade America.

American intelligence managed to intercept a telegram. The contents of it explained that Germany had been negotiating with Mexico to have them start a war with the United States which would prevent the US from interfering in Europe which would mean Germany could easily just conquer everything. The US understood that they needed to react to this because Mexico was willing to support Germany.
