On December 8th, 1941, Franklin Roosevelt, president of the United States at the time, delivered an important speech to inform everyone about the attack of the Empire of Japan to Pearl Harbor, the Us Naval base in Hawaii. The speech is best known as the Infamy Speech. The speech was broadcasted live and had an important impact. In the first paragraph of the speech Roosevelt projected the United States as the innocent victim of the Japanese attack. Moreover, Even though the draft did not include addressing the audience, Roosevelt did it in order to create intimacy and stress that everyone must listen carefully to what he was about to say.
