About Roosevelt 罗斯福的简介
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945; ) was the 32nd President of the United States and a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war. The only American Psident elected to more than two terms, he was often referred to by his initials, FDR. Roosevelt won his first of four Psidential elections in 1932, while the United States was in the depths of the Great DePssion. FDR's combination of optimism and economic activism is often credited with keeping the country's economic crisis from developing into a political crisis. He led the United States through most of World War II, and died in office of a cerebral hemorrhage shortly before the war ended.
