A.1. Declaring war on America was a great mistake for Germany, which was already struggling to fight two other nations at the time. Having been brought into the war, America helped make its allies, Britain and Russia, even stronger in addition to sending its own military forces to Europe.
A.2. I think that Germany would have had a much better chance of winning the war if it had not gotten America involved. Without America, there would not likely have been as much coordination between Britain and Russia, and Germany may have been able to defeat those two nations separately.
B. General von Stauffenberg's attempt to kill Hitler could be seen as a reasonable action with the purpose of bringing peace back to Europe. However, although the war probably would have ended more quickly if he succeeded, I think that the course of history would have been very similar. On the other hand, without the inclusion of Russia and America's roles in ending the war, Germany may not have ended up being as divided as it was during the Cold War.
