Summary "Day of Infamy Speech: Given before the US Congress December 8 1941" by Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This speech was delivered in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, outlining the United States' position regarding the unprovoked assault by Japan. The content highlights the grave implications of this attack and the immediate need for a declaration of war. In his speech, Roosevelt vividly recounts the events of December 7, 1941, emphasizing the surprise and treachery associated with the Japanese attacks on American territories and interests across the Pacific. He portrays a picture of a nation caught off guard yet resolute in its response, calling on Congress to recognize a state of war against Japan and rallying the American people around the cause of defending their homeland. The rhetoric of the speech is designed to unify and energize a nation on the brink of full engagement in World War II, signaling a pivotal moment in American history.
