Supporting an Inference with Evidence
British government leaders didn't present the
Zimmermann telegram to Wilson for a few weeks. Hall
reminded them that outrage was growing in America over
Germany's announcement late in the day of January 31
that the German navy would resume unrestricted
submarine warfare. In fact, that policy provoked the U.S.
government to cut diplomatic relations with Germany in
February.
On February 24, when Hall sensed that the Zimmermann
telegram would tip the balance in favor of the U.S. joining
the Allied forces, the British home secretary presented
the telegram to President Wilson. One week later, news of
the Zimmermann telegram was splashed across the front
page of American newspapers. On April 6, 1917, the
Congress of the United States declared war on Germany
and its allies.
-The Dark Game,
Write four to five sentences supporting the inference
that the British waited until they were sure the telegram
would encourage the US to enter the war. Identify at
least two pieces of evidence from the passage, and
explain how that evidence leads to the inference.

the British waited to release the Zimmermann telegram to the US because they wanted to make sure would have a significant impact on US public opinion and encourage them to join the war One piece of evidence supporting this is the fact that the news of the telegram was "splashed across the front page of American," indicating that it was meant to be widely publicized to garner attention. Another piece of evidence is the timing of the US declaration of war on Germany just one week after the news broke, suggesting that the British strategically waited for the right moment to reveal the telegram. This shows that the British were strategic in their decision to release the information when they believed it would have the most impact on US involvement in the war. i hope this really helps
