There is no trick here, it was a straight question. J.D. Hayworth didn't know the the answer. John McCain nailed him.Are you testing the historic knowledge of the members here? lol
Spoiler alert:
Germany declared war on America.
Technically America declared war on Germany after Germany declared war on America... so yes we did, but not first.
Are you trying to trick us?

It was the FDR administration's fault we got attacked in the first place.
Just saying.
Is there a point to any of this?
A guy who lost a Republican primary by a huge margin screwed up an entirely trivial historical point in a speech he made 3+ months ago. Isn't the significance obvious?
At least he knew who we fought. I don't know if you can say that for most Americans.
Far too true.YouTube - stupid americans Asked simple questions but you will be surprised by some of the answers
A lot of people don't know s*** about the world.
:doh
We went to war with Japan. Japan was allied with Germany as a result we were at war with both.
Yes the US declared war on both nations the vote in the Senate was 88-0 and House 393-0 for war with Germany. In regards to Italy the vote was Senate: 90-0 House: 399-0. Thus, by act of Congress and the President, war was formally declared on both nations by the US.

That's hardly automatic just beause of an alliance.
The USSR did not fight Japan until the very end, and then only to grab some land.
I know it's absolutely irrelevant, but, as a point of historical interest, I was under the impression that the first female senator, whose name escapes me presently, voted against both the First AND Second World Wars?

World War I suggests that alliances and agreements very much make war automatic. The entire European landscape dove right in and it was all in accordance to former agreements. It was rediculous. Eventually, with the core countries making a mess, other European countries got sucked in and then us in 1917.
World War II was showed more of a reluctance.
