THE HISTORY

With World War II on the horizon, President Roosevelt passionately supported the UK against Nazi German aggression and China against Japanese threats. Despite his efforts to remain neutral, the tragic events at Pearl Harbour forced the US to declare war on both Japan and Hitler shortly after. Roosevelt's determination and leadership during the war extended beyond just military strategies, as he also helped stabilize and improve the economy. Sadly, his declining health led to his passing just 3 months into his 4th term, leaving the world in mourning. He is remembered as one of the top three American Presidents, alongside George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Meanwhile, Adolf Hitler, a stern and undemocratic combat veteran, sought to redeem Germany for its defeat in World War I by imposing his will and laws on both his own people and the Russians. Despite his desire for a positive legacy, Hitler ultimately committed suicide and had his body destroyed to avoid facing the consequences of his actions.
