FDR goaded him into declaring war on the United States. Sorry, DM. Robert McCormick, who hated FDR and owned the Chicago Tribune, was responsible for that. McCormick got hold of our war plans from a serving officer who also hated FDR, and published them in the paper just before Dec 7. This was translated and shown to Hitler. Hitler said, in that case, he might as well go ahead and declare war on the US. This is well documented, and McCormick should have gone to jail for treason. McCormick also published the fact that we had shot down Yamamoto by breaking Jap codes. This could have really hurt us, but the Japanese were not reading our papers by that time.
