President Wilson asked for a declaration of war against Germany primarily due to the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare by the German Navy, which posed a direct threat to American ships and lives. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmerman Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States, further inflamed public opinion and solidified the call for action. These events collectively pushed Wilson to abandon his earlier stance of neutrality and seek congressional approval for war.
Germany first failed to win the Battle of Britain, then Germany failed to capture Moscow, finally Germany lost the Battle of Stalingrad and Germany began the slow, but, steady retreat back to Berlin.
Great Britain and France declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939, in response to Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939. Both countries had pledged to support Poland in the event of aggression, viewing Germany's actions as a violation of international agreements and a threat to European stability. The invasion marked a significant escalation of Adolf Hitler's expansionist policies, prompting the Allies to take a stand against further Nazi aggression. Their declaration of war aimed to protect Poland and contain the growing threat posed by Germany.
The first example is the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. The League of Nations disapproved but had no means to stop the invasion. Mussolini then invaded Ethiopia in 1935, and the League of Nations was unable to take action against him. Finally, in 1936, Hitler began to remilitarize Germany, and there was no reaction from the League of Nations.
The Great Depression played a part in that every country felt the pressure as many people were without homes, food and jobs. In an effort to fight against this Hitler began to take actions that went against the Treaty of Versailles (agreement at the end of World War 1). Such examples of this include regaining an alliance with Austria/Hungary, rebuilding the army, and invading neighboring countries. With the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, England and Franch, who had repeatedly reminded Germany of the treaty expectations, finally declared war.

1) The British found a letter written by Germany that tried to get Mexico to declare war on the USA, and 2) Germany said they were going to resume unrestricted submarine warfare and sink any ships (civilian or military) sailing between the USA and England. These two actions finally provoked President Wilson to ask the Congress to declare War on Germany.
He or she would have to start by entering primaries and competing at caucuses and then finally win the nomination of the party at its convention.
The United States declared war on Japan who was an ally to Hitler's Nazi party in Germany, because of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Jefferson, Adams, and Jay worked on it. Jefferson was the principal writer and Jay/Adams edited it. Six edits were done before it was finally approved.
One: Germany sank the British "Lusitania", a ship. This ship had 128 Americans on board. This caused America to be angry. Two: America was becoming less and less neutral by the day. It was really tempted to fight against the growing dictatorship of Germany. Finally Congress declared war on Germany in April 6, 1917 after the failed treaties between America and Germany.
In World War II (as distinct from World War I), the long-planned but often-delayed strike on Germany that finally opened a genuine Second (and Western) Front arrived on June the 6th of 1944. Often referred to as "D-Day", this invasion took place in the Normandy region of France and was successful in leading to the eventual overthrow of Nazi Germany.
Like the medal of honor, the legion of merit is awarded by the president. There are entire military departments that vet/review the nominees qualifications. After which a recommendation is made for or against. If for, it follows up the chain finally reaching the president.

He never actually surrendered. He committed suicide, and about a week later, Admiral Karl Dönitz, who was the new President, surrendered- most of Germany was occupied by the Allies at that point, and President Dönitz only had control of the small town he was in at the time.
