How did Mexico React to the Zimmerman Telegram? (Short Animated Documentary) -adsmember

Once in the past we fought and defeated the most powerful army in the world at that time (the french army), so we can fight and give a good match, but we are smart enough to take back our territory easily by invading it slowly over the years, and so far we are doing a good job

Mexico don't get involved in that Imperialistic shit, like the U.S. who has invaded just about every country on earth, stole many a land and islands, even invaded Russia in 1918, Mexicans are not war mongers

This has to be one of the best channels on YouTube.
Thank you.

Although he disliked the US, he wasn’t suicidal

Germany got left on read

They reacted the same way they always react – in Spanish

Hahah this channel is shady and I love it!!! I live in Guatemala that is next to Mexico and we declare war to Germany during the WWII but no one cared not even the Germans pay attention to us hahaha

really is silly of the Germans to try to carve up the US and use the same Great Power tactics against America as they did everyone else. They had no idea who they were dealing with, evidently.

You missed a major reason why Mexico didn't invade, the continental USA has clay for days, you can't conquer parts of it without ending up with longer, indefensible landborders.

Mexico didn't want those problems… the ONLY way Mexico would be if the Mexican president possessed Thor's Hammer, The Power Cosmic, the Cosmic Cube, the Infinity Gauntlet and the
M'Kraan Crystal.

2:18. Hahahahahahaha

Germany sends telegram

Mexico: But anywho…

Mexico left Germany's message on read.

You can fight the USA buh you can't win it best line of the year ???

"Dear Mexico, can you plz kamikaze yourselves to buy us some time? luv Germany"

Veracruz, a diplomatic incident. I love this channel, but let's not go call an invasion a diplomatic incident. It muddles US colonialist efforts in the Americas.

All Germany had to do was shut up and they may have taken over Europe.

America ?? can’t no country take anything from us

because at one point Mexico lost its entire Territory to US, US just gave them back existing territories.

Seems like a pretty poor move by the Germans there. The only thing it seems to have achieved is accelerating US presence in WW1.

Holding territory in the United States is virtually impossible. Even if an invading army faced no military resistance, the sheer number of gun-toting Americans isn't conducive to occupation. It was one of the fears after the US Civil War, as a matter of fact. Thankfully, rather than resorting to guerrilla warfare, the south listened to General Lee and remained (mostly) peaceful in rejoining the union.

So if the telegram never went through, because the obvious goal was just to slow down the US, then Germany might have won the war since the US was never going to join without this clear push

If Mexico join it would be really interesting

Mexico just straight up left Germany on "opened"

Why does it feel like the Nazis being genocidally racist comes up very little in how nations dealt with it

Mexico to USA: Aye amigo what dis say?
USA : Looks at telegram
USA: :0
USA: it’s just car insurance don’t worry.
Mexico: Ok amigo
Entire USA population: >:|

Mexico proved they were smarter than Anakin by not trying it.

Germany: Hey Mexico, wanna fight my war for me? I'll be your best friend.

Germany: “Hey mexico want to invade the USA?

Mexico: “No habla ingles”

Another fun fact is that Germany used America's own telegram system, but was only caught because the British were being spying on the Americans. The British then had to come up with a way of delivering the Zimmerman telegram and the way of decoding it without revealing how they actually got it

I have to think that the Germans admitted sending the cable (and if it hadn't been sent, may have just fabricated it) just to gamble that the US might still whoop on Mexico for even thinking of joining the war. Mexico correctly saw that they were just getting used. How on earth are they gonna send troops they don't have to fight for a country they aren't even that close to and who couldn't deliver anything they promised… Reclaim Texas and Cali? How about just getting to the Gulf coast without getting killed?

Germany did it taking advantage of the fact that Mexico and the United States were on the brink of war since a revolutionary attacked Columbus for selling him blank bullets.This caused a persecution against him with the limitation of the Mexican government. The limitation was not complied with and a small battle was fought between Mexicans and the US punitive forces (Battle of Carrizal)

"Fighting a war with USA would be easy, winning will be impossible"

Vietnam & Afghanistan : ….And we took that personally

zimmerman is carpenter in english so im confused why they called it the "carpenter telegram"

No mention of the Punitive Expedition?
