The Zimmermann Telegram - Best of Frenemies - Extra History
🕑 Added 2022-01-14 18:31:00 +0000 UTCBritish Foreign Affairs Office, London, February, 23rd 1917. In the afternoon, Arthur Balfour, the foreign secretary of the United Kingdom, hands the American Ambassador Walter Page a sheet of paper. It's an intercepted message sent by Germany, encouraging Mexico to enter the Great War against the United States. In short, it's the type of message that can change the course of history!

How will this staged and dramatic charade of the Zimmerman Telegram change the course of history?

Great timing, given I just recently saw The King's Man, which has...shall we say a very artistically liberal inclusion of this! Great to see the real history.

Someone call the TVA. This is a violation of the single timeline and must be dealt with.

I guess then I could be a Mexican...

Time paradox at 4:40: the "keep calm and carry on" poster was invented in 1939, not 1917.

Alternate History idea here: what if Mexico accepted the Zimmermann Telegram?
