On December 11, Germany declared war on the US. War between the two countries was inevitable because Hitler agreed to help Japan. Hitler thought once Japan fought America, they would help defeat Russia. Attacks on German U-boats and Nazi ideology angered the Germans. Once Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Hitler decided to declare war. In talks between Japanese ambassador Oshima and German foreign minister von Ribbentrop, they discussed on a formal declaration of war against America. Under terms of the tripartite pact, Germany would be forced to help if Japan was attacked, but of Japan was the aggressor. Von Ribbentrop knew however, that adding the United States would overwhelm the German war effort. Hitler addressed the Reichstag the very same day to defend the declaration and bblamethe war on Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. Hitler knew that Roosevelt was supported by plutocrats and Jews. With German peoples' support, Germany was allowed to go to war with America.
