    I can't even imagine what that was like to listen to live on the radio. Even hearing this recording is chilling. It's a good thing that the country was full of men and women of steel.

    The next day, Germany and Italy declared war, and the day after that, the U. S. declared war on them.

    I wonder if anyone in Japan was listening to this at the time?

      Probably. It was broadcast via shortwave as well as over standard AM in the US. It would have been late at night though.

      Probably someone in military intelligence or the foreign ministry would've been listening

    i wonder how FDR got to the podium since he couldn't walk and was in a wheelchair.

    • @moboutmen

      Special ramp was installed. He was in a wheelchair while out of sight, then was aided to the podium via the ramp.

    Had it not started Add Pearl Harbor it would have started shortly later in the south Pacific near the Philippines and Taiwan, Japan wanted to prevent from engaging with the Pacific Fleet which would not have gone well for them so they felt their best chance was to attack Hawaii

      December 7th is when Pearl Harbor happened but on the 8th is when the US reacted

    They clapped for Roosevelt for about a solid minute and 30.

      No, they clapped for Caesar. After a declaration of war, the President is elevated as Cincinattus, the Roman who we modeled our President after and named the city.

    Jeanette Rankin Representative for Montana was the only dissenting vote against going to war . I can only imagine how her constituents felt when she voted nay. It took a lot of backbone to vote the way she voted. She was some kind of woman and she didn't buckle under. One thing for sure is as a result of her voting the way she did she ultimately committed political suicide and would never run for re-election.

      A lot of members of Congress served in the Navy when not in Washington. Future president Lyndon Johnson was among them. Johnson, in fact, earned a commendation for his service in the Navy.
