每天一篇“今日美史”，提煉和總結(jié)歷史在今天發(fā)生的重要事件：誰(shuí)，在哪里，什么時(shí)候，做了什么，這件事為什么重要，以及在寫(xiě)關(guān)于什么主題的論文的時(shí)候可以作為潛在的論據(jù)引用。 每天30秒，輕松積累史實(shí) 為AP美國(guó)歷史拿5分打下堅(jiān)實(shí)基礎(chǔ) Who：President Franklin D. RooseveltWhat：President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke about the Four Freedoms in the 1941 State of the Union address.
羅斯福發(fā)表的四大自由原則 In the 1930s many Americans felt that the involvement in World War I had been a mistake, and were adamantly against continued intervention in European affairs. As a result, the U.S. established Neutrality Acts, which banned the sale of armaments to countries that were at war and placed restrictions on travel with belligerent vessels, and it remained in effect when World War II began in September 1939.
But FDR had watched with increasing anxiety as European nations fell to Hitler’s fascist regime one by one. Therefore, in his speech to the Congress, he made a break with the tradition of non-interventionism. He proposed to the Congress four fundamental freedoms that people "everywhere in the world" ought to enjoy, which include: Freedom of speech Freedom of worship Freedom from want Freedom from fear
The declaration of the Four Freedoms as a justification for war would resonate through the remainder of the war, and for decades longer as a frame of remembrance.The Freedoms became the staple of America's war aims, and the center of all attempts to rally public support for the war. They became values central to American life and examples of American exceptionalism.
