A different World War I

What if the Zimmerman note went unnoticed during World War I and Mexico actually attacked us to get their lost land from the Mexican War back? Then what would World War I look like?

Does this need to be in ASB?

Mexico was in quite the mess even before the (rather bonkers) Z note. Even if one fixes Mexico up before the war, there's no compelling reason to pull a "Pearl Harbor" style suicidal attack on the USA, since America is richer and stronger by a long way. But put a militaristic expansionist nationalist in charge of Mexico, and you might get somewhere. The OTL scenario, though, won't wash.
 
well might be asb or need some kind of POD, cause i think the mexicans actually refused and had no intention of invading the us, especaily after that little fiasco on the US-Mex border a few years before.

If you ask me, the Zimmerman Telegram should be in the ASB section, were it not for the fact that it actually happened.

Can you imagine? "WI Germany asked Mexico to attack the United States during World War I? Also, WI they asked Japan to change sides?"

Yeah, people would pour scorn on that like seasoning on a salad. :D
