To evaluate which statement best evaluates Roosevelt's strategies, we can consider the historical context. Prior to the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt consistently tried to persuade Americans to abandon isolationist policies by emphasizing the need to support European democracies against Nazi aggression. However, his efforts faced significant opposition from isolationist factions within the United States.

The attack on Pearl Harbor effectively changed the situation, as it brought the United States directly into the war. This led to a surge in support for U.S. involvement and a shift away from isolationism. Roosevelt capitalized on this sentiment and successfully convinced Americans that U.S. involvement in the war was necessary.
