United States Declaration of War

In my opinion the tone of the United States declaring war was not viewed well by the people. I think that the American public believed that they had no reason to enter the war, and many Americans would lose their lives. I do think that the government felt the need to declare war, and it seems that they had a purpose to get involved and turn the war around. I think the American governments tone was to show that they would defend their nation and wouldn't let the Germans defeat them and their allies.

In my opinion the German response seemed to say that they wanted to have peace with America and were fighting England. It seems that the Germans didn't want the United States to enter the war because they knew that it would be harder for them to obtain Hitlers goals.
