Answer
As the Military Attaché in Washington D.C., Franz von Papen secretly organized a network of agents to carry out covert operations, such as sabotage, to hinder U.S. war industries from supplying arms and ammunition to the Allied Powers. His efforts were later discovered by the British intelligence, leading to his expulsion from the United States in December 1915.
