Franklin D. Roosevelt

 Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin Roosevelt was President of the United States in 1932. Roosevelt was one of the greatest presidents being able to help the United States during the great depression and described the importance of genuine empathy in comparison to Hoover. We learn that the great depression started in 1929 and led to times of difficulty. Hoover decided to do nothing and said the great depression would resolve on its own.

Roosevelt was the candidate for the Democrats in 1932 and won the elections by a large land slide. United States' citizens decided to vote for Roosevelt, and Roosevelt became the president of the United States. Roosevelt was able to create jobs for individuals (without cronyism) and alleviate the difficulties of the great depression. 

Roosevelt also had a radio program where he assured the nation that it was possible to persist amidst not so good times. Roosevelt had multiple broadcasts through radio that allowed individuals to be encouraged despite the difficult times. 

Roosevelt helped the nation improve and led during dark times. When Japan attacked the US in Pearl Harbor, FDR declared war on the nazis. The US entered the Second World War and defeated the axis of evil including the nazis. Roosevelt was important in leading the US during World War II with Eisenhower taking command of the Allied Forces and taking back territory in Europe. World War II was won in 1945.
