President Franklin Roosevelt described December 7, 1941, as a date that would "live in infamy" because it marked the surprise attack by Japanese forces on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This unprovoked assault resulted in significant loss of life and damage to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, prompting the United States to formally enter World War II. Roosevelt's speech emphasized the betrayal of trust and the need for a united response to safeguard American freedom and security. The attack galvanized public opinion and marked a turning point in U.S. involvement in the war.
