Franklin D. Roosevelt (President)

Franklin D. Roosevelt, often referred to as FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States, serving from 1933 to 1945. He led the nation during the Great Depression, implementing the New Deal—an extensive set of programs aimed at economic recovery, job creation, and social welfare. Roosevelt's leadership during World War II was also pivotal, as he worked to support Allied nations and mobilized the U.S. economy for war efforts. He is known for his fireside chats, which communicated directly with Americans, and for being a key figure in establishing Social Security and expanding the federal government's role in the economy.
