Authors and historians looked at what motivated the U.S. to get involved in World War I. Reasons discussed included the influence of British propaganda as well as the Zimmermann Telegram, an intercepted diplomatic cable between Germany and Mexico that proposed an alliance between the two countries and promised Mexico territory in the southwest U.S. The panelists also talked about President Woodrow Wilson’s decision-making process in asking Congress to declare war.
