Franklin+D.+Roosevelt

=
On March 4th, 1933, president Franklin D. Roosevelt was officially sworn-in as the president of the United States of America. He was 51 years old.=====

=
The next morning, he made a radio broadcast-to all of America-that Pearl Harbor was bombed the previous morning by the Japanese, and that we were entering World War II. It only took 30 minutes for congress to agree that we were entering World War II.=====

Fortunately, Roosevelt was already prepared for war because the United States was sending supplies to our allies, Great Brittan and France, so a bunch of factories were already making bombs, planes and weapons. This war was very hard on the home front as well, even though there were no battles fought on American ground, Roosevelt encouraged people to ration or save and donate things you don't need.=====

Tragically, Roosevelt died at age 63, after only 83 days of Roosevelt's 2nd term as president, he forced Harry Truman to be president. That was a lot of pressure because he knew he had a war to win and peoples lives to save. Luckily, he did figure out a way to win and the Allied Powers won World war II!=====

__Radio broad cast:__ "Yesterday, December 7, 1941-a day which will live in infamy-the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by Naval and air forces of the empire of of Japan... I ask that Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan..., a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."=====
