The United States Moves Towards War

• Aid to the Allies (especially Britain)– Lend-Lease Act: this allowed sales or loans to

“any country whose defense the President deems vital to the defense of the United States.”

• The U.S. set up at draft (first time during peace time)

• Isolationists were against these moves• Despite their opposition, FDR won his third

term as president

War Goals• FDR and Churchill issued the

Atlantic Charter, which set goals for the postwar world. They included:– Seek no new territory– Support the right of all people

to choose their government– A “permanent system of

general security” similar to the League of Nations.

• But what would bring the U.S. into the war????

“A date which will live in infamy”The U.S. tried to stop Japanese aggression by refusing to sell oil and scrap metal to them. This is called an embargo.

This angered Japan and despite sending peace negotiators to Washington, the military of Japan plotted an attack against the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.

On the morning of December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a massive air attack against the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor.

When it was all over, 19 ships were destroyed or damages, 200 planes were destroyed, and about 2,400 Americans were dead

As result, the U.S. declared war on Japan and their allies Germany and Italy

The U.S found itself in a world war once again.
