Question

The speech that President Roosevelt gave the next day calling December 7 “a date which will live in infamy” --What was the day that would live in infamy?

Question 19 options:

Japanese bombed the American naval base Pearl Harbor


It was the day the Roosevelts first went on the radio


It was the day Franklin D. Roosevelt left office


It was the first time in American history that a president used the radio

Answer 1

The speech's "infamy" line is often misquoted as "a day that will live in infamy". However, Roosevelt quite deliberately chose to emphasize the date—December 7, 1941—rather than the day of the attack, a Sunday, which he mentioned only in the last line when he said, "... Sunday, December 7th, 1941, ...".

So ill say it is It was the day Franklin D. Roosevelt left office

Answer 2

Japanese bombed the American naval base Pearl Harbor

Step-by-step explanation:

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise attack to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which destroyed 21 US ships, over 300 aircraft, killed 2,400 people and hurt 1,000 Americans.

The following day, the U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered the famous Infamy Speech to a Joint Session of the Congress, asking to declare war on Japan, and in which he declared December 7 “a date which will live in infamy”, referring to the Pearl Harbor Attack.
