Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered a declaration on December 8, 1941 to the world. On December 7th, 1941, the Empire of Japan bombed Pearl Harbor as this is "a date that will live in infamy". FDR believes that the Empire of Japan has planned this attack for days or weeks because of the length of the trip. Also, on December 7th, Japan attacked Hong Kong, Guam, Phillipine Islands, and Wake Island. Also, the morning of December 8th, Japan invaded Midway Island. This was very offensive to FDR as he found a sense of victory that the country will pull out in the end. Therefore, he asked Congress to declare war with the Empire of Japan.
