FDR begins his address by stating that the United States was attacked on December 7th 1941, the day prior. He speaks of the peace between Japan and the US prior and how he felt that this was abruptly changed. After meeting with the Japanese government and speaking about this peace, the Japanese bombed Honolulu. He continued to talk about the past relationship with japan and figured that they must have been planning this attack for a while. America was upset that the Japanese went against their will and their peaceful times and attacked America. He concludes by asking congress to declare war on Japan, this opened War and brought America into the second world war.
