Pearl Harbor Confronted FDR with the Wrong War, at the Wrong Time, in the
Wrong Place, against the Wrong Adversaryv FDR viewed Germany, not
Japan, as greater threat
v FDR’s 1941 policy: persuade Japan not to plunge into war on Germany’s side (similar to his Italian policy, 1940)
v FDR came within weeks of succeeding -- Moscow
![Page 19: The United States in the World: An International History ...Sullivan... · Rough Course Schedule v Week 1: Colonial Possessions in a World at War v Week 2: New Republic, Perilous](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f87a8f2e3029446b43505a8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
War with Japan did not mean war with Germany: FDR did not ask Congress to
declare war on Germany v That declaration came
only after Hitler, on December 11, declared war on the US
v (FDR negotiated with Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania until June 1942!)
![Page 20: The United States in the World: An International History ...Sullivan... · Rough Course Schedule v Week 1: Colonial Possessions in a World at War v Week 2: New Republic, Perilous](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f87a8f2e3029446b43505a8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hitler Declares War on the U.S.v Hitler loathed FDR: Thought
FDR Jewish, leading a Jewish administration
v Hitler never sought to avoid war with US: war with US was “inevitable”
v Hitler believed the US would focus entirely on avenging Pearl Harbor. Right?

FDR’s Unique Challenges
n Only wartime leader to face regular elections, 1940, 1942, 1944
n Faced determined political opposition
n Had to balance objectives between Europe & Asia
![Page 24: The United States in the World: An International History ...Sullivan... · Rough Course Schedule v Week 1: Colonial Possessions in a World at War v Week 2: New Republic, Perilous](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f87a8f2e3029446b43505a8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
FDR’s Strategic Sense: War as a global, multi-theater
struggle – played to US’s advantage. Delegated to talented appointments.
![Page 25: The United States in the World: An International History ...Sullivan... · Rough Course Schedule v Week 1: Colonial Possessions in a World at War v Week 2: New Republic, Perilous](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f87a8f2e3029446b43505a8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1. Play to US strengths in economic might, logistics, innovations, air-age globalism.
2. Coordination among allies (unlike Axis). 3. Multiple simultaneous fronts.
4. Utilize naval, air, & production advantages
![Page 26: The United States in the World: An International History ...Sullivan... · Rough Course Schedule v Week 1: Colonial Possessions in a World at War v Week 2: New Republic, Perilous](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f87a8f2e3029446b43505a8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

4. Europe First, but no neglect of the Pacific5. Win war as quickly as possible (fear of public
opinion, alliance fracture, wonder weapons)
![Page 28: The United States in the World: An International History ...Sullivan... · Rough Course Schedule v Week 1: Colonial Possessions in a World at War v Week 2: New Republic, Perilous](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f87a8f2e3029446b43505a8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

FDR and the Big Threen FDR worried about
objectives of Soviets and British (obscured by Cold War ideology)
n Concerns about postwar colonial Asia, Middle East
n Both Soviet & European imperialism posed postwar challenges

FDR and the Soviet Unionn Create a genuine alliance:
Keep USSR in war until VJ Day (prevent Russian separate peace such as 1918 or 1939)
n War for the conquest of Eurasia: Get USSR into war against Japan on Eurasian landmass ASAP (USSR was already on the Eurasian landmass!)

FDR & Churchill: A Complicated Partnership
v Contrary to popular myths, mutually wary
v FDR: US fighting for US interests, not UK’s (pre-meetings at Cairo, Malta)
v Fundamental differences over strategy, empire, France, China, 2nd Front
![Page 33: The United States in the World: An International History ...Sullivan... · Rough Course Schedule v Week 1: Colonial Possessions in a World at War v Week 2: New Republic, Perilous](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f87a8f2e3029446b43505a8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
FDR was often exasperated by Churchill’s volatile emotions, inconsistency,
repetitiveness, and Churchill’s health issues
![Page 34: The United States in the World: An International History ...Sullivan... · Rough Course Schedule v Week 1: Colonial Possessions in a World at War v Week 2: New Republic, Perilous](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f87a8f2e3029446b43505a8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

FDR believed that Churchill did not value nor understand the war in Asia, nor China’s key role. Nor, FDR suspected, did Churchill grasp that the
Age of Empires ended on December 7, 1941

FDR and the End of Empiren Prior to the war racism
was seen as legitimate justification for empire
n After the war such views increasingly reprehensible
n Unintended irony of cartoon: does it apply to the United States, too?

FDR urged Churchill to prepare India for self-government. Churchill gave replies that prevaricated and invented facts about India.
American officials had held extensive meetings about India throughout the war.

Churchill’s Objectives at Teheran

I. FDR used Stalin to persuade Churchill of the necessity of a Second Front in France. II. Churchill instead argued for a front in
what he characterized as the Balkan “underbelly” – a region closer to British
imperial interests in the Middle East
![Page 56: The United States in the World: An International History ...Sullivan... · Rough Course Schedule v Week 1: Colonial Possessions in a World at War v Week 2: New Republic, Perilous](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050410/5f87a8f2e3029446b43505a8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
FDR doubted such an “underbelly” existed.The Balkan region was too distant from the
Reich’s vital industrial organs in West &Northwest Germany (the Saar, the Rhine,
the Ruhr industrial regions).

FDR believed the Balkan “underbelly” strategy would not shorten the war by a single day. It would instead extend
British imperial interests in the Eastern Mediterrean

Stalin skeptical of Churchill’s seriousness about Second Front in France. Stalin called the bluff: he demanded a date & name of a commander
(FDR’s intent?)
