Where did Franklin D. Roosevelt make his declaration of war speech at?
The speech was before the U.S. Congress, in Washington, D.C., December 8, 1941. Background: The President of the United States does not have the power to "declare war." The U.S. Constitution reserves that power to the Congress. As Commander in Chief, the President has some powers -- or has assumed some powers -- to use military action, but a "declaration of war" is in the hands of the Congress. In that famous speech, FDR asked Congress for a declaration of war: "I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire." When Congress issued the declaration, FDR, as President, signed it.

Where did the US send troops in World War 2?
two words.............Pearl harbour!!! The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, gave President Franklin D. Roosevelt the justification to ask Congress to declare war on Japan. It did so on December 8th. Japan was a German ally, so Germany then declared war on the U.S. and the U.S. then declared war on Germany. Though the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was the justification for the U.S. to enter the conflict, U.S. troops were first sent to England in December of 1941 and more in January of 1942. Roosevelt and Churchill had met in secret in August of 1941 and had planned in advance what the U.S. would do when it entered the war. Winston Churchill spent Christmas of 1941 in the White House, keeping an eye on what Roosevelt was doing, and encouraging him to do what was best for England. The common enemy in Europe that Churchill and Roosevelt shared was Adolph Hitler and the Nazis.

Why did roosevelt ask congress to pass the lend lease act?
The Lend-Lease act was a treaty of sorts that granted the United States the ability to lease to the Allied Nations materials needed for the war. This proposal was met with great disapproval by Congress and President Roosevelt had a hard time selling his point. He believed however that this act would make America the "arsenal of Democracy".
