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

No one. Before the war started there was no Axis powers or Allied powers. This develops after it starts. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939 that began the war. Soon Italy and Japan joined them as the Axis. The US won't get involved until Dec. 8, 1941 the day after Peal Harbor when war is declared on Japan and Germany, in turn, declares war on the US.
