Me and my friend have heard this speech so many times in HOI4 that every time the music randomly stops and we hear the first note you'll hear us all say " **THIS IS A TALK ON NATIONAL SECURITY ** " in our voice chat
I bought DLC recently. Was playing classic game, as Italy into Roman Empire. And then USA declares on me, music stops and this starts. I was freaked out. I felt my self a real valiant , though I was really not - whole game did nothing but defending my self , didnt start a single war myself :O
man many parts of this speech is very relevant today especially the part that talks about how there are many americans who act more like foreign agents then actual citizens of the country
The Countries of the Russian Federation and People’s Republic of China have a large, online, and overt disinformation program to convince people to listen to them, it’s probably why some Americans sound like foreign agents when they fall for it.
Also where he talks about Germany stating that they invaded Belgium to protect then from the British. Considering Russia just said they just invaded Ukraine because Poland was going to invaded Western Ukraine.
@@TheCyber416 I can understand why you'd draw parallels between the 2 situations, but we cannot deny that there are cultural and historical ties between eastern Ukraine and Russia (even if you disagree with the invasion you cannot deny this fact), so we cannot equate the two.

@@chozer1 so more discrimination towards ethnic Russian populations that live in majority Ukrainian areas? that's not the solution and will just bring more bloodshed. Federalism would be a better solution, create autonomous republics and Oblasts that will protect their local culture/language and be part of a Multi-Ethnic Ukraine with multiple official languages (Polish, Hungarian, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian etc...). this will at least solve the issue of discrimination or tyranny of the majority (regardless of which majority either Russian or Ukrainian). the rest, well other countries did it, they can always follow that example. Also keep in mind that this proposed solution is present in the Constitution of Ukraine, but the Kiev Regime (after Janukovich) refused to negotiate with the separatists about this specific solution (moderates in Novorossiya in the beginning wanted peace instead of a long war). My point about this is, there could have been a solution to this conflict 9 years ago if the Ukrainian constitution was followed.
6:00: Every American schoolboy knows that tone, when FDR says “…and there are also *American citizens.”* It’s the same tone of voice used by a disappointed teacher. 😂
he does "We must be the great arsenal of democracy. For us this is an emergency as serious as war itself. We must apply ourselves to our task with the same resolution, the same sense of urgency, the same spirit of patriotism and sacrifice, as we would show were we at war."
@@MalcrowAlogoran the speech is 35 minutes long so while FDR does say "arsenal of democracy" at some point in the speech this version doesnt have that bit included
@@Draxzz. I have always found that weird that the most famous part which is also the title was not included. We always got that HOI 3 DLC trailer tho for epic AOD speech.
i heard this for the first time when i declared war on the USA when i hat my army on canada and mexico man this was epic to hear when i was figthing them that was cool
fun fact, FDR's arsenal of democracy speech is edited. he never said "in the pacific ocean, is our fleet. a gun loaded with explosive bullets, economic as well as military." the speech is cut after fleet and splices in the loaded gun part. the original context is FDR says if the nazis conquer all the places around the US, they would have " a gun loaded with explosive bullets, economic as well as military."
That actually makes sense; even if the fleet could be used for gunboat diplomacy (was that still a thing by WWII?), I just thought it very strange to say that the fleet is loaded with economic bullets. Are there any other cuts you know of?
It’s likely the US would have joined the war regardless whether or not Japan attacked on 12/7-1941. Eventually. But this speech and it’s corresponding policies are more important than they are sometimes given credit for. The British would likely survive on their island without US aid for a pretty long time, but they would have been in no position to wage war in North Africa and beyond in the long run. The British had enough manpower (especially considering they had the Raj, and the support of the Canadians, Aussies etc), so as long as they got decent material support they actually could stand a chance. And the moral boost, seeing as this was in late 1940, before even Barbarossa, was surely needed.

The entire discourse is about the manufacturing of weapons in form of lend lease to the nations waging war against the Axis, the project was called that.
FDR Guided the nation out of the Great Depression with the New Deal and guided the nation through the Second World War. No other American Leader would’ve done the same. There is a reason this man was elected 4 times. The people overwhelmingly saw him as the right guy for the job.
@@Adi_1922 He didn't guide us out of the Great Depression; quite the contrary: I believe he exacerbated it. Not a single one of his policies over the decade he ruled before we entered the War was able to end the Great Depression; only WWII succeeded in doing so. There are plenty of other American leaders who could have led us through WWII, and I feel that to claim otherwise is disingenuous to the American spirit. Truman (who literally did lead us through part of WWII), Patton, even Huey Long (had he not been assassinated); the list of potentials is long. Nevertheless, you are right that he was popular, even managing to carry 60% of the vote in 1936. However, I would not recommend mistaking popularity for unanimity. There were many Americans who did not approve of him; and it is to this period of time that we owe the American meanings of the terms "conservative" and "liberal", first used to describe people who were against or in favor of FDR's reforms.

About the appeasement; while I think Germany was right to annex Sudetenland, the other parts of Czechoslovakia was off the limits. Still had Germany not annexed the rest of the Czecoslovakia, it could pose a threat had the Polish refused to give up Danzig. The Polish hoped that the Allies would come halfway as they could not foresee the blitz of France, but would giving Danzig made the possible future German invasion that much worse? After all, millions of Poles died for unlawfully held German territories, lost thier eastern territories to the Soviets, lived under communism which is only productive when people are producing for survival. Was Germany really unappeasable? Perhaps, if Germany and the Soviets didn't divide Poland, and Poland had become a Soviet Republic making the German-Soviet border much more to the wast, would have give Hitler no funny ideas. Surely after the fall of Soviets, the next stop would be UK then the US. But if only Soviets were on the border of western Poland. Such a tragic war could have been avoided. The world was already liberalizing, the great war could have been the last war. But that would not be good for Allied hegemony, Surely Germany had no chance against US, USSR and UK at the same time. French ws always the mortal enemy of the Germans, they're the shit stirrers with their grand dream of carving up Germany.
They created a new border between Germany and Soviet Union in Poland when it was divided so I don’t understand what you mean “if they only moved the border to the east”; and also the annexation was unlawful, by saying they were right to do it you say the same thing about crimea, hey Russia can take it because Russians live there, if this is how borders will be created then you will see how fast the world will be stuck in endless conflicts, Kurds could just annex turkey because “Kurds live there” and Russia can also annex east Lithuania and Estonia because people speak “Russian” there; and Germany can annex some villages in Russia because only Germans live there etc. endless conflicts, borders should be defined crystal clear and only changed through diplomacy when both parties agree to avoid wars.
@@BengVideo The thing is Soviets was the multinational state back then, and I didn't say if the border was move to the east, exact opposite. I said if USSR (doesn't mean Russia) annexed Poland and gave Danzig corridor to Germany, then Germany would not have a justification and the borders being farther away from the A to A line would deter Germany from waging war against USSR. Would the USSR attack Germany if that was the case? I don't think Allies would let communism come to the doorstep of western europed.
The Hitler Stalin Pact likely would never have happened if the Allies and the Soviet Union found a standing ground to work together in the first place. The Sovietunion DID approach the Allies but since things did not seem to work out well between them they instead turned to Germany. Generally Stalin hoped Germany and the Allies would slaughter each other like in the first world war, that hope alone was fataly wrong and the soviets paid a huge price for it
Germans have no right to be anywhere besides the forests of what was considered in roman times "Germania". Anywhere else where there is german populations, is there because they displaced the native of that area and colonized it in the natives place, such as Konigsberg, Ermland-Masuren, the sudetenland, memel etc etc...
