L'attacco dei giapponesi a Pearl Harbor. Uno degli episodi più importanti della storia della Seconda guerra mondiale fu senza dubbio l'attacco giapponese a Pearl Harbor, avvenuto il 7 dicembre 1941. Tale evento avrebbe modificato profondamente il corso del conflitto, provocando l'ingresso degli Stati Uniti nella guerra.

A quotation from Franklin D. Roosevelt
Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)
Speech (1940-10-13), “The Mobilization for Human Needs” (radio broadcast)

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
In the future world the misuse of power, as implied in the term “power politics,” must not be a controlling factor in international relations. That is the heart of the principles to which we have subscribed. We cannot deny that power is a factor in world politics any more than we can deny its existence as a factor in national politics. But in a democratic world, as in a democratic Nation, power must be linked with responsibility, and obliged to defend and justify itself within the framework of the general good.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
We understand the philosophy of those who offer resistance, of those who conduct a counter offensive against the American people’s march of social progress. It is not an opposition which comes necessarily from wickedness — it is an opposition that comes from subconscious resistance to any measure that disturbs the position of privilege.
It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)
Speech (1940-11-01), Campaign Address, Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
The noblest monument to peace and to neighborly economic and social friendship in all the world is not a monument in bronze or stone, but the boundary which unites the United States and Canada — 3,000 miles of friendship with no barbed wire, no gun or soldier, and no passport on the whole frontier. Mutual trust made that frontier.

Let us not be afraid to help each other — let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and Senators and Congressmen and Government officials but the voters of this country.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace — business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen two hundred limping, exhausted men come out of line — the survivors of a regiment of one thousand that went forward forty-eight hours before. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions — bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality. Whoever seeks to set one nationality against another, seeks to degrade all nationalities. Whoever seeks to set one race against another seeks to enslave all races. Whoever seeks to set one religion against another, seeks to destroy all religion.

We seek peace — enduring peace. More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginnings of all wars — yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman, and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
The Presidency is not merely an administrative office. That’s the least of it. It is more than an engineering job, efficient or inefficient. It is pre-eminently a place of moral leadership. All our great Presidents were leaders of thought at times when certain historic ideas in the life of the nation had to be clarified.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.

Many voices are heard as we face a great decision.

Declaring War on Japan in 1941: Challenging Students to Explore Multiple Perspectives on a Presidential Speech to Congress
September 29, 2025, Posted by: Cheryl Lederle
Stacie Moats of the Library of Congress contributed to this article.
In the September 2025 issue of Social Education, the journal of the National Council for the Social Studies, our “Sources and Strategies” article features Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s speech to both chambers of Congress and the Supreme Court on December 8, 1941. The article asks: How did the U.S. Constitution, signed on September 17, 1787, influence the nation’s reaction to an event more than 150 years later? It introduces multiple sources reflecting the reactions of the president, Congress, and the American people to the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and invites students to consider how the founding document shaped the various responses.
Franklin D. Roosevelt asks Congress to declare war.One place to read President Roosevelt’s famous 1941 speech is in the Congressional Record (CR), Bound Edition, available from Congress.gov. The address narrates details of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and concludes with a call to action, asking “… that the Congress declare that, since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.”
In addition to the speech, the Bound CR offers an almost play-by-play account of what happened in the House and Senate on December 8. Examining this record can help students learn about the specific response to the events of that historic day, the responsibilities of each branch of government, and the rules governing the work of the House and the Senate.
After the president’s address, each chamber reconvened and read joint resolutions declaring war on Japan per Roosevelt’s request, followed by statements and discussion on the floor, and then a vote in each chamber. Discussion in the Senate was brief and confined to one senator. Discussion on the floor of the House reflected the tone and direction of the final vote, with only one “No” vote against the resolution and against declaring war. Depending on the time available, assign or ask students to select one representative’s remarks, identifying the position taken and arguments presented. Before they begin, remind them that the Bound CR is a direct record of a historic event, reflects the attitudes, perspectives, and beliefs of a different time, and students may find the content offensive.
Even within Congress, students will notice multiple perspectives and may wonder if these congressional dialogues represented the conversations taking place across the nation. The article features a number of interviews from After the Day of Infamy: “Man-on-the-Street” Interviews Following the Attack on Pearl Harbor, including:
Listening to these Americans express their thoughts can help students better understand the real-life political, economic, social, and emotional consequences of Congress invoking its constitutional power to declare war at the request of the president.
The article suggests that students seek additional perspectives through historical resources in the Library’s collections, including:
Let us know what your students wonder and discover if you use any of these resources.

So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1933-03-04), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
In the field of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neighbor — the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others — the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1933-03-04), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
The experience of the past two years has proven beyond doubt that no nation can appease the Nazis. No man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it. There can be no appeasement with ruthlessness. There can be no reasoning with an incendiary bomb. We know now that a nation can have peace with the Nazis only at the price of total surrender.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1940-12-29), “Fireside Chat: Arsenal of Democracy” (radio broadcast)

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
Once it is realized that business monopoly in America paralyzes the system of free enterprise on which it is grafted, and is as fatal to those who manipulate it as to the people who suffer beneath its impositions, action by the government to eliminate these artificial restraints will be welcomed by industry throughout the nation.
For idle factories and idle workers profit no man.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Message (1938-04-29) to Congress, On Curbing Monopolies
