U.S. President, Franklin D. Roosevelt delivers his "Four Freedoms" speech during the State of the Union Address on January 6, 1941, outlining his vision for a world based on, freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
The speech was given to rally support for Allied nations against growing Axis threats before the U.S. entered World War II. The Four Freedoms:
- Freedom of Speech and Expression: Everywhere in the world.
- Freedom of Worship: For every person, in their own way, everywhere in the world.
- Freedom from Want: Economic understandings to ensure healthy, peaceful lives for all nations.
- Freedom from Fear: Worldwide reduction of armaments so no nation can commit aggression.
