On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and the Pacific War broke out. Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. The United States declared war on Japan, Germany, and Italy, formally entering World War II. Full Speech:
Mr. Deputy **, Mr. Speaker, Senators and Representatives:
Yesterday, December 7, 1941, will be the day of national shame for our country. The United States of America was subjected to a premeditated surprise attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force.
Prior to this, the United States was at peace with Japan and, at the request of Japan, negotiated with that country** and the Emperor in the hope of maintaining peace in the Pacific region.
Japanese Air Force units on the island of Oahu in the United States. An hour after the bombing began, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleagues went so far as to hand over to the US Secretary of State a formal reply, a recent letter from the United States to Japan. Although the reply asserted that there was no longer a need to continue the current diplomatic negotiations, it did not contain threatening words or hints of war or military action.
The distance of Hawaii Island from Japan suggests that the attack was apparently planned many days or even weeks ago, and the incident will be documented. During this period, Japan** deliberately deceived the United States with hypocritical statements and expressed desire to continue to maintain peace.
Japan's attack on the Hawaiian Islands yesterday caused serious damage to the US Navy and Army. I regret to tell you: so many Americans were killed. At the same time, several American ships were reported to have been hit by mines on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday, Japan** also launched an attack on Malaya.
Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.
Last night Japanese troops attacked **.
Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.
Last night Japanese troops attacked Wake Island.
The Japanese attacked Midway this morning.
In this way, Japan launched a full-scale surprise attack on the entire Pacific region. Yesterday's and today's circumstances speak for themselves. The American people have clearly understood that this is a matter of survival and security for our country.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and Army, I have ordered all means to be used for defense.
We will always remember the nature of this attack on us.
No matter how long it takes to defeat this premeditated aggression, the American people have justice in their hands and have the strength to win a complete victory.
I pledge that we will fully ensure our security and that we will never again be harmed by this perfidy, which I believe speaks to the will of Congress and of the people.
At present, our people, territory, and interests are in a state of extreme danger, and we must not slack off in the slightest.
We believe that our army, our people, are incomparably determined, and therefore victory will be ours. May God bless us.
I ask Congress to declare that the United States and Japan are in a state of war as a result of Japan's despicable attack on our country on Sunday, December 7, 1941.
