The United States declared war on Germany (then, later, Austrian-Hungary) in 1917 for several reasons. The most important was Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare campaign, which led to the loss of American goods and lives despite America's neutral status. Also involved was growing American sympathy for the Allied cause and growing distrust of Germany, in particular.

you declare war
Germany didn't declare war on the US in world war 1. It was the US that declared war on Germany on April 6th 1917 as a result of the unrestricted submarine war introduced by Germany in January that year. - I Warner
England cannot declare war on the us because in 1937 they signed a treaty preventing each other from fighting. They also became alliances and in world war 2 the Americans helped the BBritish and french soilder's.
If you mean in WWII then this is what I have got. Germany did not actually declare war on the Americans. When the Japanese bombed Perl Harbour in America the Americans wanted to declare war on the Japanese but the British persuaded the Americans that it was the Germans that started it and so the Americans declared war on the Germans and any other army with them including the Japanese on 11th December 1941. Hope that helps! =)
