I wonder if the cable on the US side went to the Telephone Building at Church and Kempner?
I wonder!?
The Zimmerman Telegram story never made any sense. Mexico was *still* engaged in civil war at the time of the alleged communication. The United States had recognized Venustiano Carranza as provisional President 2 years prior, forming a diplomatic and military alliance, and had sent troops in to help quash Carranzo's enemies.
Furthermore, the United States had abstained from entering the Great War as a belligerent nation for almost *3 years*--why would the Germans--who had enough to deal with fighting a war on multiple fronts--bother with engaging in such a conspiracy with an *ally* of the United States?!
--P.s., it has to be noted that the Lusitania was not simply a passenger vessel--it was a cargo ship carrying British armaments and munitions (which made it a legitimate military target in accordance with conventions of warfare at that point-in-time), *along with* American and British passengers--this is a fact that was explicitly kept undisclosed to the public for an entire century.
Texas was not lost during the Spanish American War!!! Texas fought for independence on its own in 1836.
The Spanish American War, a war which America WAS involved, started and ended in 1898!
It is difficult enough for people to understand that Texas was an independent country and still owns all of its own land. And that many of us believe that we are entitled to leave the USA at will despite the Supreme Court. Many negotiated concessions were not fulfilled wen Texas joined the USA and i feel these breeches of contract should entitle us to leave as we please.
But regardless, please dont ever confuse our independence with the Spanish American War.
??? Texas Independence and the Spanish American war are 2 entirely different things. Not sure what you’re talking about.
@nativetexan53 You are partially WRONG!
I consider the Republican Party of Texas to be traitors by illegally declaring they have the right to secede from the Union last year. Accordingly no Texas Republican delegate to the GOP convention in Milwaukee this year can be seated.
The Civil War resolved the issue of secession with a resounding no!
