FDR was a power hungry Socialism nightmare.........To me he was Woodrow Wilson on Steroids..........many of his actions of that day led to the shredding of the Constitution and Enumerated Powers. He used the Great Depression and the War to push his views into action during a time of crisis........A moment in history when people are too consumed with fighting the War to care...........and we are still paying for it to this day.
We would have eventually gone to War no matter who was President. Hitler couldn't be allowed to win, and Imperial Japan would have to go down as well.
Regardless on how it played out.........We were going to War.
Desperate times call for desperate measures
We were socialist during WWII. Government controlled production and pricing . Any president couldn’t have done it....FDR did and it won the war
The people fighting the War..........WON THE WAR..............The women working in manufacturing WON THE WAR............and the people would have done it regardless of who was President............
In regards to our strategy in Europe............Churchill understood better than FDR what needed to be done there..........He was concerned what was going to happen with Russia AFTER THE WAR..............FDR didn't listen..........and as a result Germany was divided in half after the War and the very reason Britain went to War in the first place........POLAND.........was occupied until Reagan.........Churchill understood a different strategy but didn't have the equipment and troops to implement it..............He knew that we needed to take Germany and as much land as possible before Russia got there..........Because he knew we would have to pay for it after.
