Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882.1.30-1945.4.12), the 32nd President of the United States, has always been regarded as one of the greatest presidents in American history and was the leader of the 20th century. The most anticipated and beloved president of the United States, and the only person in American history to serve four consecutive terms, he served for 12 years from March 1933 until his death in April 1945. It has won high approval ratings among the American people for seven weeks, setting a historical record. He is a representative of the disabled and strong-willed, and is respected by people all over the world.
Intelligent, capable, broad-minded, and popular among the public, it seems that nothing can stop this 39-year-old man from reaching the top of politics. pace. However, a ruthless disaster struck at this moment. In August 1921, Roosevelt took his family on vacation on Campobello Island. After putting out a forest fire, he jumped into the cold sea water and contracted polio. High fever, pain, numbness and the prospect of lifelong disability did not make Roosevelt give up his ideals and beliefs. He continued to exercise unremittingly in an attempt to regain the ability to walk and stand. The Georgia hot springs he used to treat his illness were called "laughter" A place that shakes the heavens.”
In early 1933, when Roosevelt first took office as president, the storm of the Great Depression swept across the United States. Unemployment, bankruptcy, closures, and slumps were everywhere. The pain, fear, and despair of the United States could be seen everywhere. Roosevelt showed an overwhelming confidence. When he was sworn in, he delivered a passionate speech, telling people: The only thing we fear is fear itself. On that cold afternoon of March 4, 1933, the new president's determination and light-hearted optimism "kindled the fire of a new spirit of national unity."
The famous American journalist Johnson wrote in Roosevelt's biography: "He overturned more precedents than anyone else, smashed more ancient structures than anyone else, and changed the entire face of the United States more than anyone else." Everyone wants to be fast and furious. But it was his deepest belief that the American building was, as a whole, quite beautiful. "Roosevelt was the most beloved and most hated American president of the 20th century. He was loved because, although he was born into an aristocracy, he believed in the value of ordinary people and fought to protect their rights. Another reason he was loved was that he had an intimidating charisma. He works happily and is confident about the future. He led the United States out of economic troubles and changed the American way of life. And then to defend democracies and help make the world safe.
He can be pleased with what happened after his death: 25 days after his death, Germany unconditionally surrendered, and three months later, Japan unconditionally surrendered. And the poliomyelitis that accompanied him throughout his life and fought tenaciously was finally overcome on April 12, 1955, exactly ten years after his death.
Historians and political scientists agree that Roosevelt, Washington and Lincoln are the three greatest presidents of the United States.
