What are at least 3 major events that led to Franklin d Roosevelt's infamy?
I assume you are referring to Roosevelt's December 1941 speech about the attack on Pearl Harbor: he said that day, and that attack, would live in infamy. (While Roosevelt certainly had his political opponents, he was actually a very popular president, and he himself was not infamous.) Leading up to that famous "Infamy" speech were events in Europe, such as Hitler and the Nazis winning more territory and America's allies like England seeming unable to stop Hitler's advances. But the big event was of course the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor (which was in Hawaii). Once Japan, a member of the Axis (America's three enemies-- Germany, Italy and Japan), had attacked the US, America had no choice but to enter World War II, something it had wanted to avoid, but now could not.
