Franklin D. Roosevelt

Taking over the presidency in the midst of the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt served four terms as President of the United States. Born in 1882, he was the first cousin of President Teddy Roosevelt. He was struck by polio at the age of 39, but overcame his physical struggles to become President a decade later. Leading a nation out of a depression and into war, Roosevelt was re-elected time and time again. As the struggle between Axis and Allied powers continued overseas, Roosevelt began to lay the groundwork for rebuilding a war-torn world with the creation of the United Nations. He died in office on April 12, 1945.
