Attack on Pearl Harbor.
The attack of Pearl Harbor was on the morning of December 7th, 1941, but Roosevelt asked congress to declare war on Japan on December 8th, 1941 but in my History book it states, " Three days later, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States and congress declared a state of war with them too." This leads me to believe that the date is December 10th, 1941 that Roosevelt was able to declare war on Japan.
