When the Japanese terrorists attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, I was forced to declare war. Many of our ships and air crafts were damaged or destroyed. The Japanese attacked Oahu, Malaya, Hong Kong, Gaun, the Philippine islands, the Hawaiian islands, Wake island, and Midway island. The attack on Pearl Harbor also resulted in Nazi Germany and the Kingdom of Italy also declare war on the United States. We had many hardships from the result of Pearl Harbor's attack.
World war two lasted from 1939 to 1945. it included most of the world's countries and all of the great powers. It was the most wide spread war in history. The distinction between military and civilian had been erased during the war. Seventy million people died during the war.
I felt that the peace of the world depended on the relationship between Russia and the United States. Thinking so, I began plotting a peace which was the United Nations organization. At Casablanca in January of 1943, Churchill and I told Germany to surrender to avoid a future armed comeback. thankfully Germany accepted my offer. After that, Churchill, Joseph Stalin and I met up at Yalta (February of 1945). We plotted our scheme for the postwar world. We were known as "the big three".
We decided to open a global trade to prevent war. I also established a United Nations organization to preserve the World's peace. I hoped that the international peace would be restored. I am happy to say that that the organizations succeeded and there are less wars happening today. Sadly, I was not able to see the result of the war, because I died too soon. :(

Hello, I am President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States of America. I had no idea that you were the one who had come up with the idea of a United Nations. I personally think that it was a fantastic idea. It has helped keep the world at peace. Thanks!
