Executive Order 9066 Summary-

As part of Executive Order #9066, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt effectively authorizes the United States Secretary of War, now known as the Secretary of Defense, to be able build military areas in which people may be excluded, as defined by his own standards. The Secretary of War would then be able to control all transportation, shelter, flow of food, on top of any other accommodations that are rendered necessary for the people who have to live in the specific camps. Compliance was required, no exceptions, and federal troops could be deployed in these areas.

Watch, listen and then summarize FDR's Declaration of War and enter on your blog as LAD #34.

         Franklin Delano Roosevelt begins his speech by reiterating the horrors of Pearl Harbor. Japanese aircraft hosted an attack on December 7th, 1941, which was a very gruesome and unpredictable attack. About an hour after the bombing had started, a Japanese ambassador revealed to the U.S. Secretary of State, that any prior diplomatic agreements between them had dissipated. Roosevelt also describes the damages done, thanks to the Japanese, and lets people know that he is prepared to take defense, and promises that the U.S. would be victorious regardless of the situation. FDR ends his speech by asking Congress to declare war on Japan, to both defend our country and prevent attacks like the one on Pearl Harbor from happening again.

The picture below depicts Woodrow Wilson and the day he asked Congress to Declare War for the start of WWI, similar to that of FDR.

 Summary of the Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact of August, 1928:

 The Kellogg-Briand Peace was a treaty signed immediately between the United States and other foreign countries, such as Great Britain, Italy, and Germany and later by France, Poland, Belgium, and Japan, all within one year. It essentially turned national policy into that of abstaining from war, and made it so any country who wanted to turn to war to receive the benefits of the treaty couldn't, and in fact were denied the benefits directly. Another goal of the treaty was to one get countries to sign it, but for the powers who hadn't signed it, they wanted t make it desirable for them to follow suit and sign it as well. After it was created, America was empowered with the oversight of the original treaty, and was responsible for handling the admission of other countries to the pact as they saw fit. More than 40 other countries ended up signing the treaty within a little more than a year after getting passed.
 


This is a picture of Jay's Treaty, which is similar in how its goals were to abstain from war as well, just the War of 1812 in this case.
