Pearl Harbor and US Mobilisation · US History

The term 'Arsenal of Democracy' was used by FDR to describe:

  1. The massive stockpile of nuclear weapons held by the U.S.
  2. The industrial might of the U.S. providing weapons for the Allies
  3. The legislative power of the U.S. Congress to declare war
  4. The collection of democratic nations fighting against the Axis
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The industrial might of the U.S. providing weapons for the Allies

FDR used this phrase in a 1940 fireside chat to argue that the U.S. must support Britain without directly entering the war. This vision became reality after Pearl Harbor as U.S. factories outproduced all Axis nations combined.
