The only president to be elected four times, Franklin D. Roosevelt, also known as FDR, led the United States through two of the greatest crises of the 20th century: the Great Depression and the Second World War, introducing a series of progressive reforms known as the New Deal.

Roosevelt became president in 1932, however, he struggled with ill health following his diagnosis of polio a decade before, which affected his mobility. Sadly, he died in April 1945 during his fourth term in office from a cerebral haemorrhage. He was 63 years old.

Nevertheless, Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor, left their mark on US history. Eleanor redefined the role of first lady, actively engaging in social issues and civil rights and became a significant political figure in her own right.
