On December 8, 1941, the United States Congress declared war (Pub.L. 77–328, 55 Stat. 795) on the Empire of Japan in response to that country's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor the prior day. It was formulated an hour after the Infamy Speech of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Japan had sent a message to their embassy in Washington, but because of problems in decoding and typing out the very long message – the high-security level assigned to the declaration meant that only personnel with very high clearances could decode it, which slowed the process – it was not delivered to the U.S. Secretary of State until after the Pearl Harbor attack. Following the U.S. declaration, Japan's allies, Germany and Italy, declared war on the United States, bringing the United States fully into World War II.
Answer:
(my answer)
The bombing against the U.S. left America and Britain no choice but to fight back. I feel that even though Japan attacked first, with no warning, they thought that they had no choice but to fight back. I feel if they didn't attack first none of this would have happened. There could have been a better way, and did they think that they were going to cause a whole ordeal? I think Japan had a choice, but America and Britain didn't.
(edmentum answer)
Both leaders use diction to appeal to the audience’s emotions and rouse them to get behind the decision to go to war. In both documents the authors present their country as the victim while showing the other country as the villain.
Both leaders argue that the other country provoked them or forced them to take up arms. For example, Hirohito uses words such as compelled, unavoidable, and endanger to argue that because Britain and the United States ignored Japan’s policies, Japan must go to war to protect the nation and its future. On the other hand, President Roosevelt says the attack by Japan was deliberate. Given the distance between Japan and Hawaii, the Japanese were offering “expressions of hope for continued peace,” while planning an attack. In the end, both leaders effectively show their people and other nations that they would be strong, and they would protect their country from the imminent dangers posed by the other country to their way of life.
