Summary: December 7th, 1941 was a day that FDR famously said "would live in infamy" due to the ferocious Japanese assault of the U.S. airbase at Pearl Harbor. It was with confidence that he asked Congress to go to war, putting faith in the will of the American people coupled with the power of the armed forces. Letting Japanese aggression go on unabated would create major problems in the Pacific, just as letting Nazi Germany flourish would in Europe. Japan destroyed any hope of peace with their attacks on Peal Harbor, and the time had come to wage a righteous conflict against the aggressive island nation. FDR urged American entry into the war, and by the consent of congress, we won it.
