This picture shows the station where they would get the telegraphs. This shows that they were very important because of the amount of people there. This supports my claim because the telegrams coming in through this station helped during the war and were viable ways of communication.

This picture shows soldiers setting up a station right before the coming offensive. This shows how important it was for them to set up and how it would help them in the end. This supports my claim because the people needed this telegraph and the fact that they set this up right before the people came to attack them shows how important it was.

These men are operating a wireless telegraph machine for the aircraft and military to communicate. This shows that this was one of their only ways to communicate, therefore it was necessary. This supports my claim because the communication that was done using these devices helped soldiers get notified of things before they happened and that helped with the war.

This man’s operating a telegraph. This man was setting it up for communication to help people stay informed. This supports my claim because without this telegraph soldiers may not have received valuable information.

This is a picture of the Zimmerman telegram that was used in the war. This telegram practically started the war according to some people. This telegram was sending valuable information to people and without it the war would've been very different.

This is a picture of the Zimmermann telegram decoded. The Zimmermann telegram was the telegram that accelerated the progression to a war. It was sent by a German secretary named Athur Zimmermann and was intended to go to the German ambassador of Mexico, but it got intercepted by British code breakers. This supports my claim because it was a very influential part of WW1.

The telegram decoded says...

"We intend to begin on the first of February unrestricted submarine warfare. We shall endeavor in spite of this to keep the United States or America neutral. In the event of this not succeeding, we make Mexico a proposal of alliance on the following basis: make war together, make peace together, generous financial support and an understanding on our part that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The settlement in detail is left to you. You will inform the President of the above most secretly as soon as the outbreak of war with the United States of America is certain and add the suggestion that he should, on his own initiative, invite Japan to immediate adherence and at the same time mediate between Japan and ourselves. Please call the President's attention to the fact that the ruthless employment of our submarines now offers the prospect of compelling England in a few months to make peace."

This is a newspaper article about the Zimmermann Telegram and how it made Americans furious. This shows that telegrams were influential during the war and helped spread knowledge. This supports my claim because the telegram alerted the U.S. and rightfully caused panic, but also warned them.

This was used as telecommunication with loved ones of a soldier who had passed. This shows that the telegram helped in more than one way, they communicated with the worried families of the soldiers in the war. This supports my claim because these telegrams may not have brought good news to families, but they provided information for them.

This telegram is being used to pass on valuable information about Paris and Germany. This shows that telegrams were used for war purposes. This supports my claim because without this telegram the information about Paris and Germany might not have gotten anywhere and because it did it helped the soldiers a lot.

This is another type of telecommunication used to communicate with Morse code. This would also help communicate in the war, which shows that telecommunication was a big part of the war with it's many variations. This supports my claim because Morse code helped in many ways and is still used in the military.
