What were the 4 freedoms in World War 2?
1. Freedom from fear. 2. Freedom from want. 3. Freedom of speech. 4. Freedom to worship. These four freedoms were stated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a message to Congress during the war. For more detail Google "4 freedoms"
How could the four freedoms be lost in World War 2?
US President Franklin D. Roosevelt used his State of the Union Address in January, 1941 to outline the Four Freedoms he believed people the world over were entitled to and ought to enjoy. The freedoms were: (1) Freedom of speech (2) Freedom of worship (3) Freedom from want (4) Freedom from fear. By the end of the year, on December 7, Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor. On December 8, Roosevelt asked Congress for a Declaration of War on Japan, which was voted upon and passed immediately, thereby officially entering the US in World War II. It was the spread of repressive political ideologies that ruled the Axis Powers -- Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan -- that the US and its allies were most determined to stop. These regimes ran under principles that were the exact opposites of the Four Freedoms. All were ruled by doctrines that punished, imprisoned or put to death those who practiced freedom of speech and worship. People under such tyrannical rule wanted for everything -- liberty, food, clothing, safety, hope -- and, they remained in constant fear of violating one of the many unwritten rules of such societies and being punished or put to death. Had the Axis Powers won World War II, they would have attempted to rule their conquests as they did their own people, through fear, intimidation and deprivation. In many nations where the people had once enjoyed the Four Freedoms, they would have them no longer. This was a very real fear, and strong motivator for the Allies, throughout much of the war.

What was Roosevelt reason for getting invoulved world war 2?
He did. It was the Congress and the American people who did not want to fight in World War 2 when they were isolationists. They refused to fight in another European war "over their silly issues." They did not understand that the Nazis were going through Europe murdering, plundering stealing and putting the Jews into death and labor camps. Roosevelt was doing his level best to help England and to get his people educated on what was happening in Europe. The Japanese however solved his problem. Roosevelt had sent military equipment, food, medicines and many American men went over to England to serve in the Royal Army Air Force.
