Who would The zimmerman not proposed an alliance between Germany?

The Zimmermann Telegram, sent by German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann in January 1917, proposed a military alliance between Germany and Mexico in the event that the United States entered World War I. Germany sought to distract the U.S. by encouraging conflict with Mexico, which would divert American resources and attention. The proposal ultimately backfired when the telegram was intercepted and made public, leading to increased anti-German sentiment in the U.S. and contributing to America's entry into the war. Thus, it was not a matter of who would not propose an alliance, but rather the misguided strategy of Germany to enlist Mexico against the U.S.
