Explanation:

Franklin Roosevelt's "Day of Infamy" speech (request for war declaration after Pearl Harbor) aimed to justify the need for military action by detailing Japan's unprovoked attack, and to gather public and congressional support for entering World War II. It did not focus on threats, alternative actions, or highlighting general US-Japan differences as core purposes.

Answer:

• to explain why military action is necessary
• to rally the support of the American people for war
