The attack of Pearl Harbor was on the morning of December 7th, 1941, but Roosevelt asked congress to declare war on Japan on December 8th, 1941 but in my History book it states, " Three days later, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States and congress declared a state of war with them too." This leads me to believe that the date is December 10th, 1941 that Roosevelt was able to declare war on Japan.
The US did not declare war on Germany in 1941, Germany declared war on the US as a measure of solidarity with Japan after their attack on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines.
America did not start WW2, Germany and Japan get the credit for that. The US did declare war on Japan on 08 December 1941, after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, and 11 December 1941 on Germany, being allied with Japan.
On December 8, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare that war existed between U.S. and Japan since the attack at Pearl Harbor, which was at 7:53 A.M. on December 7, 1941.
