The Trumpiots certainly do not know history; if Mexico had taken the Germans up on the offer in the Zimmerman Telegram (and the US had not intercepted it, the result of which when we did was the ensuing diplomatic row that pushed Wilson into bringing us into WWI), this could have been a very different world in which we live.

My favorite part of that story is that the American public was convinced that the telegram was a British hoax and actually was reducing the chances of the US getting into the war… until Zimmermann himself confirmed that it was genuine.
