Franklin D. Roosevelt


Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States. He led the United States through the Great Depression and World War II. His legislative program, the New Deal, greatly expanded the role of the federal government in American society. FDR was able to get the United States back on it's feet after the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. He nearly achieved victory in Europe and the Pacific by the time he passed away of a cerebral hemorrhage on April 12th, 1945. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had possibly the most challenging terms in history and successfully led the country through its greatest economic crisis, and its second greatest military crisis.
