What If Mexico Invaded the US in 1917?

In this World War 1 alternate history, the Zimmermann Telegram actually succeeds, and Mexico attacks the US in the spring of 1917. Desperate to survive his own civil war, Mexican President Venustiano Carranza takes the Kaiser’s gold and Prussian saboteurs, setting the southern border ablaze. But Berlin never expected Mexico to win, it was a ruthless distraction. Discover how this border war starved the Western Front of American money, handed Imperial Germany victory in WWI, and dragged the United States into a brutal, decade-long counter-insurgency. #zimmermanntelegram #wwi #alternatehistory #historydocumentary #militaryhistory Enjoying the journey down these alternate timelines?
