In “Wilson’s War Message to Congress” written by Woodrow Wilson, it occurs in the time period before Congress enters the United States into World War I, 1917. Considering that in this document it explains how Woodrow Wilson says, “It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars… we shall fight… for democracy… for a universal dominion of right… shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free”(Wilson, “Wilson’s War Message to Congress”).

While he applauds Lt. George Emmons’ History of the United States Navy for the depth of its information, he calls it “not interesting to the average reader” (13). His harshest criticism is pointed towards British author William James. T.R. found James’ Naval History of Great Britain to be far from impartial, referring to it as “a piece of special pleading by a bitter and not over-scrupulous partisan” (XXV). Roosevelt will spend a lot of ink “correcting” what he believes are James’ mistakes. Thus Roosevelt’s aims are clear- write an exhaustive account that lacked the nationalistic slant of previous works.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the American president during the course of Hitler’s attempts to overtake Europe.

Throughout the 1930s and early 1940s, Japan was on a mission to conquest other Pacific countries in order to gain more power and to harvest more natural resources since Japan had so little. Neither the American people nor the government trusted Japans actions, so when they invaded China and Indo-China, Roosevelt shut off all oil exports and froze all their assets.

The theme of the speech turns from trust building into a call-to-arms. Patriotism can be found throughout the end of his speech, rallying the people starting with their hearts. To do this, Churchill states that the policy is to, “…wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime.” The acts of Hitler caused many people to be shocked that a human being could do such terrible things, and in this speech Churchill backs up those feelings of being appalled, by calling out the very demon himself.

But seriously I didn't get that from any source so it's just what I
