Franklin Delano Roosevelt (30 Janvier 1882 – 12 Avril 1945) était le 32ème Président des États-Unis d'Amérique, en fonction de 1933 jusqu'à sa mort en 1945. Ses plus grands succès incluent la création du New Deal, la victoire des Alliés durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, l'aube de l'Ère atomique, les idées de la Conférence de Bretton Woods et l'Organisation des Nations Unies. Il est également connu pour avoir lutté pour l'égalité à travers le monde[1].
Biographie
Born in Hyde Park, New York in 1882, Franklin was the child of privileged parents. He was the 1920 Democratic nominee for Vice President. In August 1921, Roosevelt contracted Polio, which would force him to use a wheelchair for the rest of his private life. Afraid this would damage his career, he taught himself to walk for short distances supporting himself with a cane. The press was requested to only film or photograph him when he was already standing in position.
He later served as Governor of New York before defeating Herbert Hoover in the 1932 presidential election. As President, he introduced a series of economic policies as a response to the Great Depression, collectively known as the New Deal. After two re-elections, Roosevelt signed and endorsed the Declaration of War against Japan, after the attacks on Pearl Harbor. A few days later, war was also declared on Germany after they declared war on America and sunk several US ships. Shortly after, he instructed scientists to begin development on the atomic bombs, which would end the war in favor of the USA.
He did not, however, live to witness the results of these bombs. On the twelfth of April 1945, Roosevelt died of a stroke. He was elected for four terms and was the only president to serve for more than eight years.
