By 1945 FDR was a physical wreck. He had only a few months to live. Indeed his health was secretly one of the reasons why it was decided to skip the normal inaugural pomp and circumstance. Yes, as others have noted, his 12 years in office had worn him down. But he was also a lifelong chain smoker (the equivalent of 3+ packs a day) which surely contributed to his death.
@Bernard de Fontaines Well by the time we had our first nuclear bomb test Germany had already surrendered so the nuke had no outcome on the European front.
2:35 is the key moment. That's the man who would be President for almost all of that 1945-1949 term,Truman not FDR. Sadly so, because had FDR lived, the world would have been very different for the next four decades. He was young by today's standards too, just 63, and looked like an old man.
He actually grew the economy by 10% a year consistently and was the only president to do so. That is after adjusting for inflation. The economy grew more under FDR than it did under all the Republican presidents of the last century combined (48 years). Herbert Hoover made the depression longer than it had to be. We didn't bounce back in 1930, we didn't bounce back in 1931, and we didn't bounce back in 1932. Only when we changed our behavior
You could not have been more wrong, FDR prolonged the depression and got the US in a second recession in 1937. Also ww2 did not fix the economy in terms of living standards.

Henry Wallace Roosevelt's Vice President Was A Socialist He Was Much More To The Left Of FDR No Wonder Conservative Democrats Dropped Henry Wallace From Running As FDR's Vice President Running Mate In The 1944 U.S Presidential Election But I Agree If Elanor Roosevelt Helped Wallace Keep The Vice Presidency History Would Have Been A Bit Different He May Have Not Dropped The Atomic Bomb On Japan But Would Have Invaded Japan Along With The Soviets I Highly Doubt Stalin Would Have Captured And Executed Japanese Emperor Hirohito Because It Wouldn't Have Been Easy Since The Soviets Would've Still Fought The Imperial Japanese Army!!!!!!!!
Although Roosevelt personally liked Wallace, the left-leaning VP had been very naïve in his views and actions toward Stalin and the Soviet Union and became somewhat of a security risk. Faced with that and coupled with FDR's frail health, the convention actively sought a replacement VP, knowing that person would likely ascend to the Presidency.
The man was elected into office more than two terms and all y’all want to talk about was how he didn’t live out his full fourth term. Things LIKE this is why America is laughed at from all around the world.
Was sad to think he only had less than three months to live. He was one of the greatest. I believe only Washington and Lincoln were better, only because Washington was the father of our country and Lincoln had the task of putting it back together. He definitely looked ver pay weak and tired here. RIP, Mr, Roosevelt.
soo as a non US person, can anybody tell me how FDR got a 4TH TERM!?!?!?!? i thought you only had the abilty to run for two terns max in the US. i've heard of being able to run for two extra terms if the vice presidents takes over the past presidents term for no longer than 2 years which sorta makes sense, BUT 4 TERMS HOW?
FDR had remarkably successful two terms and was still only 57 years old in 1940, when we decisively won his third term. In 1944, the U.S. was deep into World War II and nation chose not to change leaders in wartime.
FDR is actually the reason they made that rule (22nd amendment). Had FDR lived through that 4th term, the amendment probably wouldnt be in place today.
And after effects of polio, was a cripple his entire presidency but hid it well, you’d never know watching this he was wearing leg braces to help him stay on his feet
Truman ate Dixon's Chili in Independence, Missouri. His favorite was a strange concoction without beans. How in bloody blazes doth a man eat chili sans beans? I shan't say it made Truman seem alien and untrustworthy, but tis what tis.
This man carried the weight of an economic depression, world war, all on his back while being in a wheel chair and the struggle that has to be. Yes he made mistakes but overall probably of the greatest Presidents in American history and greatest world leaders in human history. Unfortunately his Economic Bill of Rights were never fully adopted.

Can you imagine if FDR hadn't been stricken with polio or heart related infections then he would have gone on to serve for a 5th term? He might have even altered the course of the United Nations had he lived.
@@HangingWithNathan doubt it because the months leading up to his death he excluded Truman from everything and didn’t let him know everything important like the Manhattan project. That doesn’t sound like someone that was planning to resign.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is considered by most American historians the top greatest USA presidentis in the USA history besides George Washington and also Abraham Lincoln.
We need you so much today FDR, I wish you could come back! Although dumping Wallace for Truman was the probably the worst decision he ever made. The US would be a vastly different place today had he not done that.
FDR got a lot done as president, but he also had a lot of time to accomplish as much. Even so, I still think it's best to place term limits on presidents.
He may have lived longer and see the end of the war if he wasn't so power hungry. He broke the convention of not serving for more than 2 terms. They had to create a 22nd amendment just because of him.
There was no limits back then tho and he set a precedent that an American president could run 4 times just as George Washington set a precedent but congress unjustifiably enacted the 22nd amendment despite putting no term limits in themselves
FDR made the depression so much longer than it had to be. It was not until 1946 when we brought the troops home, cut fed spending by 60% and cut taxes by 30%. That was when the economy became prosperous again.
Total nonsense. Look at GDP and unemployment charts from 33 to 45. The dip is 1937 was because he CUT investment in his new deal programs. When he re-invested in 1938, the economy continued the straight line growth. The Republican fairy tale that cutting taxes and spending lead to growth has been proven false over and over and over.
