On April 4, 1917, the U.S. Senate voted in support of the measure to declare war on Germany. The House concurred two days later. The United States later declared war on German ally Austria-Hungary on December 7, 1917. Germanyâs resumption of submarine attacks on passenger and merchant ships in 1917 became the primary motivation behind Wilsonâs decision to lead the United States into World War I.
Why did Hitler declare war on the U.S.? The relationship between the US and Germany was already very tense before Pearl Harbor. The US was supplying Lend Lease weapons and food to Britain. In addition, the US Navy was escorting the convoys until the Brits could take over the escort in mid Atlantic.
