Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, was a towering figure in American history. Born on January 30, 1882, in Hyde Park, New York, Roosevelt was the only president to have served more than two terms, leading the country through its greatest crisis, the Great Depression, and World War II. His leadership and vision helped to transform the country, creating a lasting impact on American politics and society. Roosevelt's early life was marked by polio, which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Despite this, he remained determined and resilient, pursuing a career in politics and eventually becoming the governor of New York. His presidency was marked by a series of bold reforms, including the establishment of Social Security, the Works Progress Administration, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which helped to alleviate the suffering of the Great Depression. His leadership during World War II, including his famous "Four Freedoms" speech, helped to rally the nation and secure a decisive victory over the Axis powers.
