| Description: |
On one side of the ocean, several European nations, represented by buildings, are on fire or burned down. Smoke and flames rise into the sky, and some flaming debris drifts over to the near side of the ocean, igniting Hollands West Indies. A fire lookout tower representing North and South America stands to the left. Canada, on the roof, is already starting to catch fire. Uncle Sam rolls up his sleeve in preparation for a fight, revealing a navy tattoo. Roosevelt and Congress look over defense plans. Central and South America agree to stand with the United States.
