What point is Roosevelt trying to make in this speech? The British will get weapons from the United States as soon as they are able to pay for them.

The British should be able to fight against Germany, even though they cannot afford more weapons at this point.

The British should surrender to Germany because they could not afford the cost of fighting any longer.

Explanation:

The correct answer is B.

This is part of a radio speech delivered by President Roosevelt in December 1940 (this was the second year in WWII, and the US was still neutral in the conflict).

He aimed to convince the audience about the necessity of ensuring a safe defense strategy for Great Britain, so that they were able to avoid the German invasion and resist the many attacks they were suffering.

Apart from the ideological fight against nazism, Roosevelt highlighted how if GB fell, the last territory in the Atlantic, before reaching the US, would have been conquered. That would pose a direct threat on the US. Therefore, he supported the idea that GB should remain free at any cost.

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
