Воздушный налет японских ВВС на Перл-Харбор и речь Рузвельта после нападения Японии в 1941 году.
В 1941 году Ф. Рузвельт сделал все возможное, чтобы не дать Японии открыть второй фронт в России. Он заставил Японию обратить внимание на США. Я думаю, что если бы Япония открыла второй фронт на Россию в 1941 году, Россия не смогла бы защитить Москву. Поэтому, я думаю, что Рузвельт внес свой вклад в защиту Москвы. 7 декабря 1941 года японские ВВС внезапно атаковали Перл-Харбор без объявления войны. Рузвельт выступил с речью после этого нападения Японии и осуществил объявление войны.

In 1941, President Roosevelt made a effort as possible in order not to let Japan open second front in Russia. He made Japan pay attention to USA. I think that if Japan opened second front on Russia in 1941, Russia could not defend Moscow. Therefore, I think that President Roosevelt contributed to support to defend Moscow.
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese forces suddenly destroyed the North Pacific fleet without declaration of war, and murdered U.S. soldiers. Mamy American people were killed by Japanese.
After Pearl Harbor attack, on December 8, 1941, President Roosevelt performed a speech about this attack.
This speech is written in "Roosevelt and Hopkins" by Robert Sherwood. Text data of "Roosevelt and Hopkins" is available on the Internet. "Roosevelt and Hopkins" is an important historical document for education.
I obtained this document from the following site : [ Ссылка ]
P.436 of "Roosevelt and Hopkins" shows this speech as follows:
---------
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe
damage to American naval and military forces: 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.
This morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
Japan, has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending
throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday 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. . .
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
----------
Thus on December 7, 1941, Japan suddenly attacked Pearl Harbor during negotiations of the peace treaty with the U.S. government. Many Americans were killed in this disaster.
After Pearl Harbor attack, on December 8, 1941, Roosevelt made a speech about this attack.
The declaration of war against Japan was approved with overwhelming majority in Congress.

G. Zhukov and A. Gromyko also respected Roosevelt. Contents of the Roosevelt's speeches are well written in their memoirs.

And Gromyko wrote about Roosevelt in his memoir as follows:
Stalin said at Yalta Conference: "The history recorded the meeting of many politicians in the end of the war. When a gunshot stopped, leaders inform each other that they must live peacefully, and they become wise after the war. But war happens again when time passes for a while. Why? Because some attendants of the meeting change the attitude after having achieved peace. We need to make an effort in order not to cause such a thing after adopting our decision here."
Roosevelt said: "I fully agree to your opinion. The people of each country will thank you. All of them hope only peace."
Thus, thanks to great human ancestors, we live in peaceful world now.
We have responsibility to succeed this great world to next generation.
