Read the excerpt from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech, in which he describes the events of World War II before the United States entered the war. Armed defense of democratic existence is now being gallantly waged in four continents. If that defense fails, all the population and all the resources of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia will be dominated by the conquerors. Let us remember that the total of those populations and their resources in those four continents greatly exceeds the sum total of the population and the resources of the whole of the Western Hemisphere – many times over.

What evidence does Roosevelt use to support his argument that the United States should help its allies in the fight against Nazi Germany?

A. Statistics about the size and capability of Nazi Germany's military in the Eastern Hemisphere

B. Facts that show Nazi Germany could gain access to the means to threaten the United States

C. Proof that the free peoples of other continents are capable of standing against Nazi Germany

D. Details about Nazi Germany's plans to conquer both North America and South America​
