Background

  3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRlMASdJdEU A day in Infamy Speech

  4. Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives: Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation, and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. My speech

  5. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And, while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. Speech

  6. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. Speech

  7. Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island. Speech

  8. Japan has therefore undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense, that always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory. Speech

  9. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us. Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces, with the un-bounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph. So help us God. I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire. President Franklin D. Roosevelt - December 8, 1941 Speech

  10. Speaker: The speaker of this speech was Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 8, 1941 SOAPSTone

  11. Occasion: December 8, 1941. The day after out military base Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japs. Air crafts. United States Declares WAR! SOAPSTone

  12. Audience: The people of the United States of America and to all the people that are involved in the war that was happing at this time period. To inform that United States was going to war. SOAPSTones

  14. On December 7, 1941 the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. Subject: FDR was talking to all the people in United States to inform them that the peaceful Sunday before Pearl Harbor had been attacked and that he was declaring war. This time was during WWII. SOAPSTones

  15. Tone: The tone in FDR’s voice was serious and convening. He sounded like he was upset about the occasion and wanted revenge. SOAPSTones

  16. “Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost.” FDR was telling the people that Hawaii took a hard blow yesterday and many lost their lives fighting a battle and it upsets him that many people where no longer with him on that day. Analysis

  17. “With confidence in our armed forces, with the un-bounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph. So help us God.” He is telling the people that our people will over come this obstacle and God will be with our troops as they are defending their home land. Analysis

  18. “Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” This is the main idea because it’s giving great background on why he is talking on that day to the people of the United States. We where in the beginning stages of absolute victory. Major Premise

  19. “Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.” Giving the people a idea on how many people this effected not just the United States. Ethos

  20. “So help us God.” He is asking The Lord to help us over come and because victorious in this cold and deadly war that has been brought before us on December 7, 1941 Pathos

  21. “As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense” Basically what FDR was saying that he will stop at nothing to over come any situation that’s at hand. He wants every situation that could possibly happen to already been thought out and over came with strategies. Logos

  22. Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island. Repetition

  23. The meaning behind this riveting speech was to let the fellow Americans know that the government is taking action. Roosevelt was giving his people closer about the horrifying day that was witnessed the day before. Meaning

  24. “No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory.” Powerful lines

  25. My favorite part in this speech was when FDR said “With confidence in our armed forces, with the un-bounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph. So help us God.” It shows me how strong his beliefs are even at hard times. Favorites

  26. Questions anybody?
