The "Infamy Speech," delivered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 8, 1941, was a response to the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan the previous day. Roosevelt aimed to rally the American public and Congress to unite in support of entering World War II. By characterizing the attack as a "date which will live in infamy," he emphasized the betrayal and severity of the situation, framing it as a call to action against the Axis powers. This speech marked a pivotal moment in U.S. history, shifting the nation from isolationism to active involvement in the war.
