32 Franklin D. Roosevelt
Feb 17, 202504:19:13Tap to summarizeFranklin D. Roosevelt was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and, after his fifth cousin became president, his famous last name opened the door to a political career. FDR's life became difficult when he was stricken with polio at age 39, and he developed a fierce determination to succeed in the face of any obstacle. As the Great Depression deepened, he rose from New York's governor to president of the United States. During his historic presidency, FDR enacted an aggressive series of reforms that transformed and expanded the role of government. When the Second World War erupted, he bucked the two-term tradition and guided America and its Allies on the path to victory.

31 Herbert Hoover
Jul 17, 202301:54:53Tap to summarizeHerbert Hoover was orphaned as a child, but his tireless work ethic and masterful administrative talents brought him success as a mining engineer, a career in which he crisscrossed the globe and became a millionaire in the process. During the First World War, he led a massive effort to relieve the suffering population of occupied Belgium, earning international acclaim and putting his name under consideration for the presidency. During eight years as Commerce Secretary in the Harding and Coolidge administrations, he worked to modernize the American economy and made himself the obvious choice to succeed Coolidge in 1928. After a crushing landslide victory, Hoover brought his technocratic expertise to the highest office in the land, but when a frightening stock market crash brought the unprecedented prosperity of the Roaring 20's to an abrupt halt, he finally met a crisis he couldn't fix—the Great Depression.
