The last time Congress formally declared war was World War II in 1941. Since then there have been extended military engagements, although votes were taken in Congress for the approval of the President's call to arms, no formal declaration of war has been made since 1942 when we declared war against Bulgaria, Hungary and Romainia.

Congress is supposed to declare war. But, in recent years there have been many "Conflicts" where the US does not declare was against any country, but just sends soldiers with Congress's consent. The last time the United States declared war against Another Country was World War II.

It was Germany and Italy that first declared war on the U.S. Declaring war is usually a reciprocal act. One country declares it and then the other one declares it back. You are correct that Italy and Germany declared war on the United States first, but the U.S. congress then issued formal declarations of war against them. My original question still stands, did Roosevelt address the congress personally to ask for those declarations, or did he just send them a written message? Michael Montagne
