Franklin D Roosevelt #4

Summary: Franklin was a complicated man a lot of people would say but in the text is says that his secretary of the interior said “You are a wonderful person, but you are one of the most difficult men to work with I have ever seen”. Also in another part of the book franklin had a very close friend and that Franklin had some many personalities that if you were talking to him and then he would change his personality to other one of his personality. But in the next chapter it talked about the war especially Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941 “A day which will live in infamy”, Then the president signed the declaration of war with Japan that same day the England declared war on Japan, then tree days later Germany and Italy declared war on the United Sates. The first big tree meeting which was the Stalin from Russia, Roosevelt from the United States, and Churchill from Britain meet in Teheran, Iran, November 29, 1943. Franklin during the war would go visit american troops he was the first president to go to visit during war. Franklin had a terrible headache and then slumped forward in his armchair then suffered massive cerebral hemorrhage. Paris was liberated then Hitler shot himself and Germany surrendered and then the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan and then they surrendered. The war was over. 


Sign Post: The sign post that I remembered was “Words of the Wiser” Because Franklin said “ A day which will live in infamy"  I thought that those word were wise because America entered the war and won years later. I think that if we didn’t join that Britain would of been a lot of trouble. And with a good leader to lead us to the war but he did not get to see the last end of the war he died before the war ended.
