More About Arsenal of Democracy: The War Effort on the Home Front (FPL Main)
On December 29,1940 President Roosevelt addresses the nation with one of his famous fireside chats, “Great Arsenal of Democracy,”. Almost a year later Pearl Harbor is attacked, and the United States enters World War 2. President Roosevelt even at that time is addressing the concerns of the Nazis and Imperial Japan. It called upon America to be prepared for an emergency in case the Axis powers threatened the US. Calling upon our industry to prepare for defense of the nation. When the US declared war on Japan and Germany by February 1942 America’s industry had switched to war production virtually overnight.
