Question

read franklin roosevelt’s request for a declaration of war. what are the main purposes of this speech? select two options. to issue a threat to the country of japan; to explain why military action is necessary; to propose alternatives for a next course of action; to rally the support of the american people for war; to show differences between the us and japan

Explanation:

Franklin Roosevelt's request for a declaration of war (after the Pearl Harbor attack) aimed to explain the necessity of military action (due to Japan's aggression) and rally American people's support for the war effort. Issuing a threat wasn't the main purpose, proposing alternatives was not done (he sought war declaration), and showing differences was not the primary goal compared to justifying action and gaining support.

Answer:

B. to explain why military action is necessary, D. to rally the support of the American people for war
