=Franklin D. Roosevelt = ​Faced with the Great Depression and World War II, FDR guided America through its greatest domestic crisis, with the exception of the Civil War, and its greatest foreign crisis. His presidency spanned twelve years. FDR took office with the country mired in a horrible economic depression. Roosevelt's combination of confidence, optimism, and political savvy - all of which came together in the experimental economic and social programs of the "New Deal" -- helped bring about the beginnings of a national recovery.In foreign affairs, FDR committed the United States to the defeat of the fascist powers of Germany, Japan, and Italy, and led the nation and its allies to the brink of victory. In governance, FDR's policies, especially those comprising the New Deal, helped redefine and strengthen both the American state and, specifically, the American presidency, expanding the political, administrative, and constitutional powers of the office. FDR had a big impact on American's lives during the depression.
