The above video is Hitler's declaration of war speech.

     Franklin D. Roosevelt did not have a clean track record regarding his actions toward the Germans by any means. His "all aid short of war" policy was only short of war because Hitler chose not to declare it. America occupied Iceland and Greenland in order to secure joint British-American naval convoys, which carried war materiel. By analogy, if Hitler had invaded South America or the Caribbean Islands, the U.S. would have undoubtedly declared war on Germany. It was only because of Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi invasion of Soviet Russia, that Hitler decided not to cross the line with the Americans, so as to avoid a two-front war.

     Hitler and Mussolini declared war on the U.S. after the Pearl Harbor bombing because they knew Japan could not subsist in a long term war with the U.S. In the past, the U.S. had acted the same way regarding Great Britain. Furthermore, the European Axis powers hoped to increase collaboration with Japan, as the two regions were rather detached before Pearl Harbor, and acted more like neutrals than allies. This is substantiated by the Japanese decision not to attack Russia on its Eastern front as Germany was invading from the West.  (Some additional information: The Tripartite Pact did not require Italy and Germany to declare war on the U.S., for Japan was not attacked but was rather the attacker.)

     Although I do not concur with Hitler's beliefs, I believe he was the more honest, and by far the more efficient politician. It is a fact that Hitler kept his promise to quickly bring prosperity to Germany. Meanwhile, Roosevelt's America lingered in economic depression. Hitler's magnetizing rhetoric united Germany, while Americans were on the fence about the war, and their views were often misaligned with their president's. Hitler acted on his promise to obtain lebensraum for the Aryan race. Most unfortunately, der Fuhrer also attempted to eradicate Europe's Jews during the Holocaust. Roosevelt, on the other hand, had to deal with a bovine governmental system and a public uneducated about the many facets of the war. Therefore, he resorted to unscrupulous yet necessary use of surreptitious language to coax Americans toward his will. Ultimately, however, the victors wrote the history books. Had America succumbed to the Axis during the Second World War, FDR would have be painted in a contrasting, decidedly negative light.
