1882. Franklin Roosevelt was born

135 years ago, on January 30, 1882, Franklin Delino Roosevelt was born, who served as president of the United States for the longest in history - from 1933 to 1945. He went down in history primarily thanks to the "new course" in economic and social policy, which made it possible to overcome the great depression, as well as the victorious US participation in the Second World War (before the surrender of Germany, Roosevelt did not live for less than a month).

In a message to the country in January 1944, Roosevelt said: "The vital interests of all countries - large and small - require that freedom -loving peoples unite in a fair and reliable system of maintaining the world. Acts of Germany, Italy and Japan indicate that in modern conditions an unconditional military control is needed, just as in any society there is control over control over control over control over For a genuine, durable world, it is no less important for each person in any country to have a decent level of life from fear.
