Answer 2

Answer:

FDR looked at the war from the American lenses and the world lenses.

Explanation:

FDR was sympathetic towards the Great Britain and France, however, he could not keep on maintaining America's isolationist policy. Thus, FDR came to a point where he could not ask the Americans to become neutral at all. He therefore, did his best to support the two countries, particular Britain by promising an "short of war."

First, he silenced the isolationist stance and voices. Second, he encouraged people to support the war, citing that it would test America's preparedness for a future aggression. Lastly, he claimed that the war will check the Japanese who had bombed the Pearl Habour. This will keep invasion in check and destroy any potential threats.
