When someone talks in a clear serious manner, people will listen and more likely care about what is being said. Roosevelt begins talking about the premeditated attacks carried out by the Japanese, who were supposedly a friendly nation of the United States.

This quote from the beginning of the Day of Infamy Speech, about the destruction and loss of lives during the attack. The speech was delivered by the President of the USA at the time – Franklin D. Roosevelt – on the 8th of December, 1941, the day after Pearl Harbour attack was attacked.

While these short term consequences didn’t have much influence on the war at the time, it was these that led to the long term consequences which affected the outcome of the…
