Yes, Hitler declared War on The USA after Pearl Harbor. He had no choice because of Germany's axis treaty with Japan. I am pretty sure that we decared war on Germany at the same time as Japan because of that same reason, they were allies. Japan never told Hitler they were gonna attack Hawaii. In fact, The agreement was that Japan would attack Russia from the East. ~BH

Reading is neat.

These attacks led the U.S., Britain, Australia and other Allies to formally declare war on Japan. Germany and the other members of the Tripartite Pact responded by declaring war on the United States. In January, the United States, Britain, Soviet Union, China, and 22 smaller or exiled governments issued the Declaration by United Nations, which affirmed the Atlantic Charter.[133] The Soviet Union did not adhere to the declaration; it maintained a neutrality agreement with Japan
