  • On December 7, 1941, after Japan attacked the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt puts the United States into a state of war and decides to focus the main efforts not against Japan but against Germany. Elected to make peace, Roosevelt, almost alone, did everything to provoke the Japanese and launch America into war alongside the democracies. Without him, Germany would probably have won.

    The war vote was not unanimous. Jeanette, Rankin of Montana voted no

    FDR was a great man and President. It is sad that he didn’t live long enough to see the victory of the USA.

    You got the date of Roosevelt's speech wrong.

      They said the 8th at the very beginning. Plenty of other problems, though For example, suggesting the Japanese were meeting with Hull at the time Govt learned of the attack. I've already read it was 1-2 hrs later because of Japanese problems decrypting and translating and typing the Japanese message. Roosevelt and Churchill didn't strike up immediate friendship in WWI. Says at 1940 convention FDR "went up on the rostrum", in fact, he didn't attend the convention. All pictures of the White House are after the Truman reconstruction.

    Tojo was a general not an admiral. This report is ripe with many errors. Japan had issued the order to bomb pearl harbor before what you describe as US provocations.

    I dunno where the guys who made this learned History, but I am sure of one thing: Tojo was in the ARMY, Not in the Navy, So why do you call him "Admiral Tojo?" (42:14)

    This is the worst WWII documentary I've ever seen. Hire a fact checker and a human who knows how to pronounce things.

    I take issue with the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan as the reason why Japan surrendered.
    It didn't.
    It surrendered because USSR's Stalin had at long last declared war on Japan and ordered actions from Siberia into Japanese occupied territories. Japan was terrified of the USSR's ruthless and very capable military might and decided that surrender to and occupation by the US and UK was vastly preferable to being ransacked by the USSR and its Communist Maoist and Nationalist Kwo Min Tang Chinese allies.
    Defeat was inevitable. However the conditions were not. Even under the terms of unconditional surrender by Japan, it got to choose under which regime it would have to undergo this defeat. It chose the US and UK allied regime and thus saved itself as modern history accounts for.
