@Swiss- nothing much really, except for indirectly getting America into the war. The American-Germany relationship was not good during WWI, and Germany sunk a few US boats, but they weren't at war. Germany was sort of losing, and desperate for troops, they told Mexico that if they helped them fight, they would re-conquerer texad, and other parts of the U.S. that was origionally Mexican. The Mexicans declined, and the Brits proved what ther Germans tried to do through an elaborate scheme and the US went to war with Germany.
