Best Answer

Two days after Pearl Harbor occurred, the United States received a letter from Herr Hitler saying they were at war. It was because of the Tripartite Act, forcing Germany, Italy, and Japan to share any enemies. So, since Japan was at war with the US, Germany had to be as well. Also, at the time, the US Military was not the most awe-inspring spectacle. Hitler thought of it as a fair opportunity, seeing it as an easy target, and hoping Japan would draw any serious threat away from Germany.
