President Franklin D. Roosevelt's declaration of war against Japan on December 8, 1941, was directly prompted by the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor the previous day. This attack resulted in significant loss of life and damage to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, leading to a unified call for military action. Roosevelt's speech to Congress emphasized the need for decisive response to aggression, marking a pivotal moment that shifted the United States into active involvement in World War II.
