Read this excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech and complete the sentence that follows.
Every realist knows that the democratic way of life is at this moment being' directly assailed in every part of the world—assailed either by arms, or by secret spreading of poisonous propaganda by those who seek to destroy unity and promote discord in nations that are still at peace.

During sixteen long months this assault has blotted out the whole pattern of democratic life in an appalling number of independent nations, great and small. The assailants are still on the march, threatening other nations, great and small.
Therefore, as your President, performing my constitutional duty to "give to the Congress information of the state of the Union," I find it, unhappily, necessary to report that the future and the safety of our country and of our democracy are overwhelmingly involved in events far beyond our borders.

Armed defense of democratic existence is now being gallantly waged in four continents. If that defense fails, all the population and all the resources of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia will be dominated by the conquerors. Let us remember that the total of those populations and their resources in those four continents greatly exceeds the sum total of the population and the resources of the whole of the Western Hemisphere-many times over.

The "Four Freedoms" speech was delivered in 1941, before the U.S Congress in 1941, in an attempt by the President to move the nation away from choosing to stay out of the raging conflict that was taking place in Europe, Africa, and Asia as well, due to the non-stopping invading forces of Nazi Germany and their allies. Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States had chosen to not involve themselves in the fight taking place in Europe, Africa, and Asia, despite the great threat Nazi Germany, and its allies, posed to the freedom of the world. In this speech, however, Franklin Delano Roosevelt tries to move his country towards action, as the only power still able to fight back and stop German advancement. Finally, in the speech, FDR appeals to American´s sense of belief in the power of democracy and freedom, and also their fear of control by any power. Thus, this sentence could be finished: In the passage, Franklin D. Roosevelt explains how Germany´s continued expansion is threatening democratic principles and the freedom of all nations, even those that have not been directly affected yet and so there is the danger of Germany destroying the very essence on which the West has been founded, affecting also the integrity and safety of the United States themselves, if something is not done fast, by those who still can, to stop the threat.
