Questions

1. The Japanese attack upon American naval forces and air defenses at Pearl Harbor gave Franklin Roosevelt the justification he needed to involve the United States in the Second World War. According to the propaganda film, Why We Fight, what other motivations existed to rationalize America's entrance into World War II?

2. American neutrality was problematic in both World Wars. How did Franklin Roosevelt's neutrality acts differ from the neutrality declared by Woodrow Wilson in World War I? Using specific examples from the events leading to American involvement in the Second World War, define "unbalanced neutrality."

3. The film series Why We Fight is admittedly a piece of government propaganda to promote continued American involvement in the Second World War. Given our unfettered access to various information systems, how susceptible are the American people to the government or media propaganda today? Explain
