Historical
Note
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882 – 1945),
also known by his initials, FDR, was the 32nd President of the
United States (1933–1945) and a central figure in world events
during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during
a time of worldwide economic depression and total war. A
Democrat and the only American president elected to more than
two terms, he facilitated a durable coalition that realigned
American politics for decades. With the bouncy popular song
"Happy Days Are Here Again" as his campaign theme, FDR
defeated incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover in November 1932,
at the depth of the Great Depression. Energized by his
personal victory over paralytic illness, FDR's unfailing
optimism and activism contributed to a renewal of the national
spirit. He worked closely with Winston Churchill and Joseph
Stalin in leading the Allies against Germany and Japan in
World War II, but died just as victory was in sight.
