Zimmermann Telegram: What's Up With the Closing Lines?

    Zimmermann Telegram: What's Up With the Closing Lines?

      There aren't really any closing lines in the Zimmerman Telegram, except that Zimmermann signed his name (also in code) so that Heinrich von Eckardt, the German ambassador to Mexico, would know that the note was real and actually came from his boss. It also helped the rest of the world figure out who was behind the telegram's threatening contents.

      It's nice when you don't have to spend too much time trying to figure out whom to blame.
