Franklin D. Roosevelt, often referred to as FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. He was born on January 30, 1882, in Hyde Park, New York. Roosevelt is best known for leading the country during the Great Depression and World War II, implementing the New Deal programs to provide relief and recovery. Roosevelt was the only U.S. president elected to four terms, a record that led to the ratification of the 22nd Amendment, limiting presidents to two terms. He was diagnosed with polio in 1921, which left him with limited mobility, but he continued to be an influential leader throughout his life.
