Germany and Japan were in a state of formal, declared war against The USA and the UK
Wars THEY started
They could have surrendered before they were bombed
They chose not to
It doesn't seem that you've learned the primary reality about History::
"The victors write the history books."
Or, as George Orwell observed:
"Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past."
Next, please explain how Germany "started" WW 1.
Many historians regard WW 1 and WW 2 as one war because the Treaty of Versailles guaranteed a continuation of hostilities and the same people who profited from WW 1 profited from WW 2.
"'The international bankers swept statesmen, politicians, journalists and jurists all to one side and issued their orders with the imperiousness of absolute monarchs.'"
British Prime Minister, Lloyd George,
While there are many points at which WW 2 could have "started", the victors and their MSM, naturally chose Germany's reluctant attack on Poland over the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, Russia's invasion of Eastern Poland, the Spanish Civil War etc.
It was only the ethnic Germans who suddenly found themselves in Poland after the Treaty of Versailles stripped Germany of its Eastern territories.
During the post WW 1 years, ethnic Germans suddenly in newly created Poland were murdered, driven from their homes, farms and businesses which were given to neighboring Poles and Russian NKVD Jews.
Tens of thousands of ethnic Germans were murdered, robbed, tortured over the years as Germany appealed to the League of Nations over and over but the mass murder, rape, robbery and carnage continued until Germany did what any other country would do:

"The 1939 Danzig Massacres"
EXCERPT "In the months leading up to the German invasion the Polish Army and independent Bolshevik units had been slaughtering German nationals in the Danzig corridor. Mass killings of thousands of civilian ethnic
Germans (Volksdeutsche) by both civilian and Russian NDVK Jews, who were confident that Poland would quickly defeat Germany
(*). Many apparently expected to take possession of German farms and businesses.
An estimated 58,000 German civilians lost their lives in the massacres carried out prior to the 1939 invasion.
Poles had been merrily slaughtering anything or anybody German since at least as early as April 1939, with smaller incidents stretching back to the close of WW I -- you haven't been told that by the Mass Media, or the fact that these atrocities were one of the main causes for the German invasion of Poland.
Germany had protested in writing to the League of Nations literally dozens of times with no results." CONTINUED

Using a crude fake map(*) , perhaps one of history's most fervent warmongers managed to dupe gullible Americans into fighting to preserve and enlarge Britain's expansive Empire of occupied countries.

EXCERPT “Hitler has often protested that his plans for conquest do not extend across the Atlantic Ocean. I have in my possession a secret map, made in Germany by Hitler’s government – by the planners of the new world order. It is a map of South America and a part of Central America as Hitler proposes to reorganize it,” revealed US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his Navy Day address to the nation, broadcast on 27 October 1941." CONTINUED
Hitler even sent Hess(**) with another peace proposal to return conquered Western territories in exchange for Western neutrality so that Germany could focus on fighting a more malevolent enemy; Communism.

EXCERPT ""A new book claims to have solved the riddle of the flight to Britain in 1941 of Rudolph
Hess, Adolf Hitler’s deputy. Historian Peter Padfield has uncovered evidence he says shows Hess, the deputy Fuhrer, brought with him from Hitler a detailed peace treaty, under which the Nazis would withdraw from western Europe in exchange for British neutrality over the imminent attack on Russia. The episode remains, more than 70 years on, shrouded in mystery."CONTINUED
A more thorough and objective study may just reveal that of Stalin, Hitler, Churchill and FDR, Hitler was the least inclined to expand the scope of WW 2.
Do you still believe that Germany "started" WW 1 and WW 2 and, if so, why?
