questions.

 

THE ZIMMERMAN TELEGRAM:  To the  Minister to Mexico

¢Berlin,  Germany. January 19, 1917

¢On the first of February we intend to begin submarine warfare unrestricted.  In spite of this, it is our intention to endeavour to keep neutral the United States of America.

¢If this attempt is not successful, we propose an alliance on the following basis with Mexico: That we shall make war together and together make peace.  We shall give general financial support, and it is understood that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory in New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona.  The details are left to you for settlement...

¢You are instructed to inform the President of Mexico of the above in the greatest confidence as soon as it is certain that there will be an outbreak of war with the United States and suggest that the President of Mexico, on his own initiative, should communicate with Japan suggesting adherence at once to this plan; at the same time, offer to mediate between Germany and Japan.

¢Please call to the attention of the President of Mexico that the employment of ruthless submarine warfare now promises to compel England to make peace in a few months.

¢Zimmermann   (Secretary of State) 

 

¢

¢NOTES:  It was decoded by the British.

• ¢This document was disclosed to the American public on February 28th 1917.  The note had a profound psychological effect.  It hardened the peace-loving American people to the conviction that war with Germany was an absolutely necessary step.

• ¢It revealed that Germany had no intention whatever of limiting her U-boat warfare so as to placate them.

• ¢Americans knew that surely the Great War had come to them at last….

• ¢the Zimmermann note today is seen as folly and futility.  Mexico knew well that no German ship, no aid in men or in munitions, could possibly reach her.  She delighted much in annoying the United States; but what chance was there that she would deliberately invite destruction by declaring war on the USA  to oblige Germany?

Answer:

¢1.  What was the intention of the Telegram?

¢2.  Describe the German proposal.

essay on World War 1 and then WW2.

Explain why you have chosen the most important rules for going to war.

Explain why the bottom three are less important.

Come to class ready to defend your position.

 

¢A just war can only be waged as a last resort (option) All non-violent options must be exhausted before the use of force can be justified.

¢A war is just only if it is waged by a legitimate authority.(such as the government)  Even just causes cannot be served by actions taken by individuals or groups who do not constitute an authority or country.

¢A just war can only be fought to redress a wrong suffered. For example, self-defense against an armed attack is always considered to be a just cause (although the justice of the cause is not sufficient--see point #4). Further, a just war can only be fought with "right" intentions: the only permissible objective of a just war is to redress the injury.

¢A war can only be just if it is fought with a reasonable chance of success. Deaths and injury incurred in a hopeless cause are not morally justifiable.

¢The ultimate goal of a just war is to re-establish peace. More specifically, the peace established after the war must be preferable to the peace that would have prevailed if the war had not been fought.

¢The violence used in the war must be proportional to the injury suffered. States are prohibited from using force not necessary to attain the limited objective of addressing the injury suffered.

¢The weapons used in war must discriminate between combatants and non-combatants. Civilians are never permissible targets of war, and every effort must be taken to avoid killing civilians. The deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target. (37 million combatants died; 7 million civilians died

¢Free others from inequality, slavery, injustice.  To Create Independence.
