The "Day of Infamy" speech given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 8th 1941, was given in front of the US Congress. His goal in giving this speech was to explain what happened and Pearl Harbor and ,more importantly, ask for Congress permission to declare war on Japan.
It is clear that this speech is supposed to paint the Japanese military in a negative light, as FDR calls the attack "cowardly" and "dastardly." Along with this, he is trying to invoke a sense of patriotism among the Congress, as this attack killed American soldiers/citizens. His speech rallies Congress behind this cause and results in Congress approving of war with Japan.

Explanation:
The rebels, referred to by Westerners as Boxers because they performed physical exercises they believed would make them able to withstand bullets, killed foreigners and Chinese Christians and destroyed foreign property.
As the Western powers and Japan organized a multinational force to crush the rebellion, the siege stretched into weeks, and the diplomats, their families and guards suffered through hunger and degrading conditions as they fought to keep the Boxers at bay. By some estimates, several hundred foreigners and several thousand Chinese Christians were killed during this time. On August 14, after fighting its way through northern China, an international force of approximately 20,000 troops from eight nations (Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States) arrived to take Beijing and rescue the foreigners and Chinese Christians.

The beginning of the Great Depression in the United States is considered to be August 1929, when the industrial production index reached its peak. At that time, money was tightly tied to gold reserves, which limited the money supply. At the same time, production grew. At the turn of the century, new types of goods such as cars, planes, radios appeared. The number of goods in mass and by assortment has increased many times. As a result of the limited money supply and the growth of the commodity supply, strong deflation arose - a fall in prices, which caused financial instability, the bankruptcy of many enterprises, and loan defaults. A powerful multiplier effect has hit even growing industries.
From the standpoint of monetarism, the US Federal Reserve monetary policy triggered the crisis. A sharp decline in money supply by one third between August 1929 and March 1933 was a huge brake on the economy, and was the result of the incompetence of the Fed leadership.
This period was characterized, on the one hand, by very powerful technical changes, and on the other, by the abundance of capital, which allowed both updating capital and expanding stock exchange operations, as a result of which the speculative “bubble” increased.
