In World War 2, yes. In World War 1, no. In January 1917 Hindenburg and Ludendorff convinced the Kaiser that they had to resume the unrestricted submarine war, then tried to convince Mexico to enter the war on the Central side. The discovery of this plus the sinking of five American merchants caused public outrage in the US, and President Wilson asked Congress to declare war, coining the phrase "...make the world safe for democracy." America declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917.
