Canada declared war on the Empire of Japan on December 7th 1941. The reason for the declaration of war was due to the North American Joint Defence Treaty between the United States and Canada which was signed on August 17th 1940. The agreement is also known as the Ogdensburg Agreement.
On December 8, 1941, the day after the attack, President Roosevelt gave his famous Pearl Harbor Speech to Congress. Following the speech, the Senate and the House voted almost unanimously to declare war on Japan. Only three days later, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. Now the U.S. needed to be ready for a two-front war, in the Pacific and in Europe. The first months of the war in the Pacific were more victorious for the Japanese than for the U.S. troops.
