besides world warII, what was the other major challenge and crisis facing the Franklin Roosevelt presidency?

Well the depresion mainly, but also constitutional issues since the supreme court kept vetoing FDR's recovery bills. FDR threatened to pack the court with new "young blood" so then the court started to comply with him. People forget that this was a huge constitutional crisis at the time.

FDR he was a bit on the liberal side at the begining of his term but when he was confronted with the beginings of WW2 he did the right thing and suported the british when no one else would and he did some contraversial things like move our teritorial waters out to 400 miles so that our coust guard could do somthing about the U boats sinking our transports. He was just what we needed at the time and no other president did more for the country or the world than he did.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected four\ntimes in a row, because he was an outstanding President. He died during his fourth term having complications from Polio.\n\nIt was later, that a Constitutional Ammendment was added, which restricted a President to serve no more than two terms.

1.  Roosevelt responded to the Great Depression by creating new federal agencies and making new jobs for people\n\n2  One of those things was creation of the Social Security system, so that old people could retire and leave jobs that could be taken by younger people\n\nBonus:\n\n3.  Roosevelt led the nation during the Second World War.\n\nNow, do you homework!

It's between Lincoln and FDR because they led the country through its greatest crises and never backed down. A great president is measured through how he leads in tough times because tough times don't last, tough people do. Being a knowledgeable, strong commander in chief, and knowing how to manage spending by the government are also included. There are many debates about who is the greatest and most times your just choosing the lesser of two evils. These two are the obvious choices when you look at history. I would love to put JFK in here but the fact is he was taken from the people before he could fulfill his dream. You could argue the failures of Lincoln and Roosevelt as well but no one goes through this lifetime w/o failing. For the great ones, failure is why they succeed.

Those are very different questions.\n\nThe first I'd say WWI, the widescale adoption of the automobile, the general rise of automation and the decline of small-plot agriculture, the great depression, the new deal, and WWII.\n\nThe second I'd say probably the loosening of immigration restictions, the exodus from Europe preceeding the two world wars, and the rise of the united states as a world superpower.

Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge.  They just let problems snowball and ignored them.  They were NOT wise.\n\nLincoln and FDR presided over the greatest wars our country has ever seen (so far).  Were they UNwise?\n\nHistory willl evaluate whether there is a parallel between those listed above, on the one hand, and Clinton and Bush 43 on the other.

I'd say one of the most pressing issues would include the US occupation of Iraq.  I'm sure you can find lots of historical data and speculations about the future conclusion.

Actually, there was a draft begun before the US actually entered the war (1940) which is one of the many reasons Conservatives still claim Roosevelt should have been impeached. A note however, after 1943 the only way someone could enter the military was through the draft, because enlistment allowed the new recruit some leeway in which field he would be assigned, and too many people were enlisting so they would be assigned to non-combat fields such as mechanics in the Air Corps.

President Roosevelt was warning against the isolationist movement  who wanted to avoid America taking a leadership role in the world despite the obvious dangers of the threat from the Nazis. He was warning that those wishing to avoid taking a stand against the Nazis and Japanese in the end would not remain free nor safe. America and all those who treasure liberty are today facing a similar threat from terrorists.  Unfortunately, while leaders such as George W. Bush, Tony Blair and John Howard are prepared to take a strong stance in defence of liberty, there are others including many in Roosevelt's party, the United States Democratic Party, who are making similar arguments to the isolationists.

THE WORLD CRISIS\n1931-1939\nIn the 1930s, several international crises led to world war.\nAdolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in Germany in 1933 and quickly established a ruthless dictatorship. Germany seized Austria in 1938, and occupied Czechoslovakia in 1938-39. Italy, another dictatorship, attacked Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935 and occupied Albania in 1939. After invading Manchuria in 1931, Japan attacked China in 1937. Britain and France appeased these brutal regimes in an effort to avoid another world war – a policy supported by most Canadians.\n\nThe Nazis’ military aggression led directly to the Second World War. In August 1939, Germany insisted on territorial concessions from Poland. Finally abandoning ‘appeasement’, Britain and France pledged to assist the Poles and stop Hitler. On 1 September 1939, Germany invaded Poland and, two days later, Britain and France declared war on Germany. The Second World War had begun.\n \n\nhttp://www.civilization.ca/cwm/chrono/1931crisis_e.html

The single biggest issue facing the US at the moment is the ability of Tel Aviv to control US foreign policy in the Middle East. AIPAC is immasculating US congressmen and silencing detractors with accusations of anti-semitism.\nAmerica is prosecuting a conflict at the behest of Israel... This is making a mockery of the most powerful democracy in the world and showing Americas Achilles Heel to all of her enemies.\n\nI think this ranks as the most important issue facing that country at the moment.
