Roosevelt (Franklin D.)

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) was the 32nd President of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. He led the country through two of the greatest crises of the 20th century: the Great Depression and World War II. Roosevelt implemented the New Deal, a series of programs, financial reforms, and public works projects aimed at providing relief, recovery, and reform to Americans during the Great Depression. He was elected to an unprecedented four terms, breaking the two-term tradition set by George Washington. During World War II, FDR formed a strong alliance with Britain and the Soviet Union to defeat Nazi Germany and Japan. [ClaudeAI, edited]
