interviewing Franklin Delano roosevelt
- When I asked FDR about the causes of civil war, he informed me thoroughly on World War II. In a basic summary, he told me that Germany's invasion of Poland caused the immediate start of war. Long term affect, however, included the building up of Germany's army and how Hitler's influence over the people of his country violated the Treaty of Versailles.
- When I asked FDR about the affect of the Versailles Treaty on WWII, he told me about Germany. in the Treaty of Versailles, and how Germany had to pay huge reparations to the Allies, as well as giving up their military and colonies. This embarrassed Germany and belittled them. This embarrassment made it easy for Hitler to come to power and rebuild Germany.
- When I asked FDR about the League of Nations, he told me that went the League of Nations was made, it was aimed to stop wars, help improve people's lives, jobs, improve poverty and to end slavery around the world.
- When I asked FDR why it took so long to join WWII, he told me the United States dilemma. The US did not want to join the war, they wanted to remain neutral. They only joined war because of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
