Franklin 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.
