Why does Germany declare war on the us?

In a brief explanation, the U.S. declared war on Japan due to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and other battles in the Pacific. Japan, at the time, was allied to Germany, so Germany declared war on the U.S.


How much pressure if any did Germany put on Japan to attack Pearl Harbor?

1. If anything, Germany would not have wanted Japan to attack the United States; Germany wanted Japan to attack the SOVIET UNION (Russia); to relieve pressure on the German Army's Russian Front. 2. By all accounts, Germany was taken by surprise by the Japanese attack on the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. 3. Japan had it's own plans for the Pacific and Asia. Germany had it's own plans for Europe. If they both could "link-up" via the Suez Canal (Japan was moving towards India, Germany was fighting for control of the N. Africa); then other plans for world conquest could have been drawn up.


How did the attack on Pearl Harbor expand World War 2 to global dimensions?

Because of Pearl Harbor the United States declared war on Japan. Meanwhile Germany was at war with the USSR, and they wanted Japan to attack the USSR from the east. To get Japan to attack the USSR, Germany declared war on the United States in a good faith gesture towards Japan. Prior to this there was a war in Europe and Eastern Asia with the only connecting point being that Italy, Germany, and Japan were allies. Now the U.S. being right in the middle of these two wars became the connecting point.

Should the US have declared war on Germany in 1940 and not waited until after the Pajanese attack on Pearl Harbor?

Germany did NOT want to fight the US. The US needed a cause (reason) to declare war on Germany. Germany was NOT going to enrage the US. The ONLY reason Germany declared war on the US on December 11, 1941 was because Germany was hoping that Japan would reciprocate the favor and attack the USSR (Russia).
