About Roosevelt 罗斯福的简介
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945; ) was the 32nd President of the United States and a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war. The only American president elected to more than two terms, he was often referred to by his initials, FDR. Roosevelt won his first of four presidential elections in 1932, while the United States was in the depths of the Great Depression. FDR's combination of optimism and economic activism is often credited with keeping the country's economic crisis from developing into a political crisis. He led the United States through most of World War II, and died in office of a cerebral hemorrhage shortly before the war ended.

World war II
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor , destroying or damaging 16 warships, including most of the fleet's battleships , and killing almost 3000 American military personnel and civilians. Antiwar sentiment in the United States evaporated overnight and the country united behind Roosevelt.
The next day, Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan. This marks the United States directly involved in World War II and it changed the pattern of World War II. Although he suffered from paralytic disease(麻痹性疾病), since then he is a synonym of responsibility and strong.
