This was somewhat a political decision that the United States needed to make in support of her allies. The U.S needed to prioritize strategy in choosing how they would act after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and Hitler’s military success’s in Europe. The U.S had two options as to how they would proceed with military action. We knew if Russia collapsed that would allow Hitler to then fully focus his attention to defeating the British as well as helping out the Japanese which was a great ally of Hitler. The Japanese military success with the bombing of Pearl Harbor was obviously of great importance to the United States but helping our allies defeat Hitler took precedence after Winston Churchill asked the president Franklin D. Roosevelt for support in defeating Hitler.
The USA entered the war. * Ironically, it was often the early successes that led to actions by the allies that resulted in ultimate failure for the Axis powers.

Through the government’s use of spies it effectively managed to infiltrate what they believed to be groups of serious radicals, therefore the government new exactly who the trouble makers were. The effective use of double agent George Edwards during the Cato street conspiracy in 1820 allowed the government to prevent a possible uprising against them. The fact it was a conspiracy to blow up the cabinet gave the government a chance to show how relevant the threat was .

The Germans, immediately after sinking the ship, accused Britain of the Lusitania carrying munitions, not just passengers. The government tried to justify the sinking of the Lusitania by saying that the Lusitania contained weapons (“Sinking of RMS Lusitania” para. 2). The Germans must have known that the Lusitania held weapons, years before future historians and scientists would prove their existence true. If not, Germany would have looked at all the positives and negatives of sinking the Lusitania, and would have realized the cons outweighed the pros in this situation.
The Americans also had to keep the invasion a secret from their enemies. They used many tactics to divert the Germans’ attention from the actual plan. They developed many misleading operations, created fake armies, tanks, and trucks; sent false spy reports; and broadcasted fictitious radio messages. This led Hitler to believe the real attack would occur at Pas de Calais. Before the invasion, Allied forces bombed the area and dropped rubber paratroopers to confuse the German commanders.

Due to its historical context, stylistic methods, and the effects the speech, it can be concluded that this speech is one of the most effective ever written.
