Topic: Franklin Delano Roosevelt Fireside Chats
Level 1:
President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt- FDR
I
can say with … confidence that no Americans, today or a thousand years hence,
need feel anything but pride in our patience … toward achieving a peace in the
Pacific … The course that Japan
has followed for the past ten years in Asia has paralleled the course of Hitler
… in Europe and Africa.
In
1931, Japan invaded Manchukuo—without warning.
In
1939, Hitler invaded Poland—without warning.
In
1940, Hitler invaded Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium --without
warning.
In
1940, Italy attacked France …—without warning.
In
1941, Hitler invaded Russia—without warning.
And
now Japan has attacked Malaya and Thailand—and the United States— without
warning.
… We are now in this war. We are all in it—all
the way. Every single man, woman and child is a partner in the most tremendous
undertaking of our American history.
