Washington DC, United States of America (USA).
MS. American President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressing Congress.
He says: Yesterday December 7th 1941 a date which will live in infamy, USA was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. US was at peace with that nation and at the solicitation of Japan was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking towards the maintenance of peace. In the Pacific the attack yesterday has caused great damage to American naval and military forces and I regret to tell you that many American lives have been lost. American ships have been torpedoed on the high seas. No matter how long it may take to overcome this premeditated invasion the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory (large applause). I ask the Congress to declare that since the unprovoked attack by Japan on Sunday December 7th 1941 a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire (large applause).
(SOF). (Lav.)
N.B. Presumably this declaration of war against Japan in WWII was made on December 8th 1941.

The moment which ruined the dream of the Japanese Empire to become the greater Asia.
President Franklin D.Roosevelt had balls of steel!
Wow
America Was cool back then
this proves speech delivery to be far more effective if not staring into a camera.
0:54 United states of America was suddenly
Cool speech
Nobody gives speeches or talks with such skill anymore.
Back when we had leaders. Even in uncertain times, they made us feel courageous, confident, and most importantly, united. Now we're rotting from the inside out regardless of left or right.
Peace breeds weak men....and weak leaders
*WaW theme plays*
This was USA at it’s more powerful
on this day...
SO HELP US GOD!
American leadership at its finest
Thank you for titling this correctly. It is often called "Roosevelt declares War on Japan" or something like that, and POTUS does not have that power.
He had declared war on the Axis on 11 September 1941 when he publicly confirmed shoot on sight, having lied about the Greer incident.
At 2:00 , does anyone know who the 2 gentlemen sitting behind the President are? The one on the left? The right?
Roosevelt's vice president Henry Wallace behind Roosevelt's right, the speaker of the house Sam Rayburn on his left.
@@homersimpson90210 Oh, fantastic, thank you!

all of it in comments
Yesterday, December 7, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that Nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American Island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.
It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya.
Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.
Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam.
Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.
Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our Nation.
As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.
But always will our whole Nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces- with the unbounding determination of our people- we will gain the inevitable triumph- so help us God.
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.
😍
:D
The US had attacked Germany and Japan in April 1941.
Really? Specifically where and when?
@@lorddaver5729 China and the Atlantic.
@@JamesRichards-mj9kwCare to explain more? Last time I checked USA only supplied China and Britain. Never committing to the war themselves until December 8th
W japan.
