LAD #34

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.
