Which sentence from the speech best reveals Roosevelt's point of view regarding the attack o


Sagot :

Answer: A.  Japan was preparing for war while pretending peace was still possible.

Explanation:

This is based on the speech made by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Congress on December 8, 1941 to get them to formally declare war on Japan due to the unprovoked Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour that led to the deaths of thousands of Americans.  

In paragraphs 4 and 5 of the speech, the President talks about how Japan must have been planning the attack for weeks and yet in that time were still making peaceful overtures. Indeed only an hour before the attack, both countries were still in communication with no threat of war or violence from the Japanese.
