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
