LAD #34: FDR's Declaration of War

     December 7th, 1941, marked the beginning of the American involvement in WWII. The Japanese attack pushed FDR to declare war on the pacific nation, claiming that the military and the power of the nation backed by the people would ultimately win the war. He asked Congress to consider the danger caused by not punishing Japan, and based on other attacks, that the Japanese had warranted an American declaration of war and a break of diplomatic relations. To protect American interests and for the nation's protection, FDR pushed Congress to declare war. A war that would not have been won without American involvement.
