When the US declared war on Germany and Italy several days after Pearl Harbor did Roosevelt make another speech to congress or did he just send them a request for the declarations?

It was Germany and Italy that first declared war on the U.S. Declaring war is usually a reciprocal act. One country declares it and then the other one declares it back. You are correct that Italy and Germany declared war on the United States first, but the U.S. congress then issued formal declarations of war against them. My original question still stands, did Roosevelt address the congress personally to ask for those declarations, or did he just send them a written message? Michael Montagne


Who was the president of Russia when they declared war on the US?

I suppose you are referring to The Cold War. That was not a war in which nations did formal declarations of war but rather it was understood and they played a 5 decades long game of arm race, spying and making threats (such as the Cuban Missile Crisis.) Anyway Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union when the Cold War started during the last months of World War 2.

Can the President of the US start a war on his own?

The President of the United States cannot unilaterally start a war; this power is shared with Congress. While the President can deploy military forces and respond to immediate threats, the War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires the President to consult with Congress before engaging in sustained military action. Ultimately, Congress holds the authority to declare war, although in practice, presidents have often acted without formal declarations.
