On December 7, 1941, tragety struck America when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. During the aftermath of this horror, America declaired war on Japan thus taking a side in world war two. Presedent Franklin Delano Roosevelt presented a speech the next day to inform the nation of his declaration of war on Japan as well as to inspire Americans in to suport the war. Roosevelt used rhetorical devices including repetition, his perspective, and personification to further his point.

On the brink of war, with the enemy force appearing impenetrable and unstoppable, new Prime Minister Winston Churchill has the daunting task to rally parliament to enter the war. While speaking to the House of Commons, the representing body in the United Kingdom, he must not only create a lasting impression, but illustrate the logistics of the meeting as well as the dire importance of victory for the Allies. He opens with the immediate facts to answer any of the parliament’s doubts or concerns, then he focuses his attention to unity and expands his audience to the entire country of the United Kingdom to express the sentiment of unity and the importance of the call to arms.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and, on December 11th,  Germany declared war on the U.S. (A  big mistake by Hitler - otherwise, we might have concentrated on beating Japan first).  America was now in World War 2!  Americans were no longer isolationists - they were mad as hell and they were not going to take it!  Overseas, Churchill, despite the disaster, could not help but feel a great relief (actually he was ecstatic) that America was now in the

“December 7th 1941- A date that will live in infamy.” This opening statement is the first powerful line said by President Roosevelt to the American people after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This greatness of this opening line will be forever be ingrained in the minds of every American citizen, especially the people who lived during the most significant war of the 20th century. The bombing of Pearl Harbor is an event that can never be forgotten, and President Roosevelt’s speech in response to this appalling attack is just as significant. The objective of this speech was to urge Congress to declare war on Japan. Roosevelt’s speech after Pearl Harbor is one of the more recognizable and important speeches in all of American history. His speech incorporates bountiful instances of rhetorical devices, such as logos, pathos, and ethos. By analyzing these rhetorical devices, one is able to see Roosevelt’s vigorous use of emotion, his strength in addressing his character and reputation rather than focusing too heavily upon appeals to logic and reason, ultimately to get the result he wants from his audience. The profound power of this speech resonates with all who read and hear it.

During this speech he stated, “No one can make us fight abroad unless we ourselves are willing to do so. No one will attempt to fight us here if we arm ourselves as a great nation should be armed.” He also stated, “Over 100 million people are opposed to war in this country. If democracy means anything to us, that is reason enough to stay out.” This was a very important speech that made people realize to stay out of the pathways of war. This information was stated in Document F. Also is the year of 1941, the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Great Britain agreed on various common principles in the national policies. They chose to base their hopes for a better future for the world. This was a huge action that showed how we are willing to work with other countries and stay out of war as much as we can now. Document H stated this

Franklin Roosevelt was the thirty-second president of the United States. He served twelve years and four terms. He fought to keep the United States out of the war and helped those nations that were threatened or attacked. As a result, when France fell and Great Britain came under siege in 1940; he began to send all possible aid short of military involvement. The nation’s largest contribution was made to Great Britain in the form of fifty old and out dated destroyers that were built between 1918 and 1920. The Lend Lease Program and the Destroyers Bases Program was a major way the U.S. supported the Allies was efforts in 1940. At this point as a country we were anti-war and isolationist. So

In 1941, the world was at war. In Europe, Britain and France were locked in a deadly struggle with the advancing Third Reich and losing ground, men, and materiel every day. In the pacific, no nation or army could stand in the way of the Empire of Japan as they ravaged and burned a path through until total domination was achieved. World War two was two years in the making with no end in sight. Even as allies Britain and France suffered, the United States hesitated joining the war, not wanting involvement in another European conflict. Not until December 7th, 1941 did the US become involved in this war for the world. On this day, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave the Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation utilizing diction, anaphora, and climax to declare war on the Empire of Japan, sympathize with the families who lost sons and husbands in the attacks, and to raise American spirit and morale as they were to enter a state of war.

With such events occurring quickly in such a small time period, the second World War came as a massive shock. Yet again, Americans called for isolationism and neutrality as they believed America should focus on ending the Great Depression, not worrying about and dealing with the international issues of other nations and peoples. By analyzing Document 5, it is clear that many Americans still believe in isolationism during the Great Depression. Bennett Champ Clark states in his Defense of the First Neutrality Act that “the desire to keep the United States from becoming involved in any war between foreign nations seems practically unanimous among the rank and file of American citizens.” Americans influenced the US foreign policy yet again as the First Neutrality Act was passed in 1935. By analyzing Document 6, it is clear that President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the choices he made were still influenced by isolationist sentiment as he states in his Quarantine Speech that “it is my determination to adopt every practicable measure to avoid involvement in war.” However, it is clear in President Roosevelt's speech that he knew that entering the war was inevitable as he states that the “peace of the world and the welfare and security of every nation, including our own is today being threatened by that very thing (war).” Although the United States tried its best to not enter the second World War for many years, it could not avoided by the end of 1941. On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese. The federal government’s response to this attack can be analyzed in Document 7, President Roosevelt’s Pearl Harbor Address to the Congress of the United States. In response to the attack, Roosevelt calls for Congress to “declare . . . a state of war has existed between the United States and the

Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) ran his 1940 reelection campaign as a proponent of keeping America out of the European war. Yet, an earlier miscalculation by President Roosevelt led to the rise of the Third Reich. When FDR refused to realign with European nations during the London economic conference of 1933 he sent two clear messages. One message signaled Adolf Hitler that America was not going to intervene in European affairs, and he had free reign to do what he wanted, and the other message was that America had once again became an isolationist state., and that Europe was to handle their own affairs. However, through all the barbarity of the European war. Winston Churchill kept FDR well informed about the events taking place in Europe. Churchill was dogmatic in his approach with FDR and lobbied for not only England, but also all of Europe. Eventually, Churchill was able to

On December 7, 1941, tragedy struck America when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Until this event, America had been reluctant to enter the war. Consequently in the aftermath of this horrific event, America declared war on Japan, thus taking a side in World War Two. The president presented a speech the next day to inform the nation of the facts as well as present his own heart felted request. Franklin Delano Roosevelt uses various rhetorical devices in his address, including bombastic syntax, negative diction, as well as his own urgent beliefs and emotions to demonstrate the need to respond to Japan's attack while pleading for the support of American citizens.

During this period, President Roosevelt endured extremely intense emotional pressure due to the loss of America’s prestige and pride in the Pacific. At the same time he was expected to honor the British who were struggling with Hitler. Notably, just before the Japanese Pearl Harbor attack had taken place, Roosevelt had agreed that the first priority should be a defeat of Nazi Germany. This should have been until America was able to recover from its Pearl Harbor naval forces and consequently mobilize for a two-front war. The decision made focused on accepting the Philippines loss, Guam and Wake and instead put plenty of concentration on a defensive kind of triangle that was inclusive of Panama, Alaska and Hawaii.

In response Germany declared war on France and eventually Great Britain. Great Britain and France told Russia that because they were in The League of Nations, they too should attack Germany. They later do this, thus breaking the Nazi - Soviet pact. As all this was happening, Winston Churchill of Great Britain sent a letter to President Roosevelt on May 15, 1940. In it, he says that they will go to war alone, but if the U.S. did not enter the war soon, if they did enter it later it would not amount to anything. He asked that the United States proclaim non belligerency. At first Franklin Roosevelt did not want to get involved in the war at all, but then on March 11, 1941 the Lend - Lease Act was created. It stated that the U.S. would provide supplies to the Allied Powers, but would not send troops to Europe. Later on August 14, 1941, Roosevelt and Churchill met and outlined some principles that both their countries agreed on. They included the abandonment of the use of force, and bringing about peace. The U.S. was becoming further entangled in

President Roosevelt then began preparations for his first unneutral step, the transferring 50 American destroyers to Britain. Roosevelt now began to move closer to an alliance with Britain, by the latter half of the year, Roosevelt declared that the United States was becoming the “arsenal of democracy,” offering sea, air, and land equipment to Britain. The attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, brought America into the war, but it did not change everything immediately as the United States would still have to declare war on both Japan and Nazi Germany. Britain’s dependence on the United States kept Churchill from criticizing his ally publicly and even in private for the most par. Over the next four years the two men would continue to work together eventually regaining Europe and defeating Hitler and Allies, although the two would have many disagreements through the last year of the war.

Churchill helped lead a successful allied strategy with the USA and the Soviet Union to defeat
