New Deal (United States)

The New Deal was a series of programs and policies enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s to help America recover from the Great Depression. It aimed to provide relief for the unemployed, recover the economy, and reform the financial system to prevent future crises. Key initiatives included creating jobs through public works projects, establishing social safety nets like Social Security, and regulating banks and industries. The New Deal expanded the role of the federal government in economic and social affairs, promoting stability and hope during a time of widespread hardship.
