When Japan seized southern French Indo-China in July of 1941, Roosevelt responded by freezing Japanese assets in the United States and ending sales of oil to Japan. Japan chose to continue its diplomatic talks with the United States while at the same time secretly preparing for a coordinated assault throughout the Pacific. Japan’s leaders hoped that a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor would destroy American resolve and cripple the American navy for at least six months, giving Japan time to consolidate its new empire

He called the day, “..a date that will live in infamy,” and it simply was. A whole year after December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor still held damage and wreckage to be fixed from the year before. Six months earlier, congress declared war on Japan.

FDR was one of the most courageous and perhaps even one of the most astute political leaders that America witnessed. Everyone is amazed by one’s accomplishments, by one’s success.

Just over two months after Japan's surprise attack at Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which gave the U.S. military the ability to designate areas that anyone could be excluded from. Even though the order did not explicitly refer to any particular ethnic or racial group, there was a clear implication of who this order was referring to.
