The antiwar sentiment was very strong in the United States and FDR couldn't join the war without a valid reason. In December 1941, Japan attacked the Pearl Harbour naval base. This caused the United States to declare war on Japan. Germany and Italy subsequently declared war on the US and so FDR was able to join the war.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was the President of the US during World War II. The war was fought in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific from 1939 to 1945, and the US declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941, to officially enter the war. Additionally, the Spanish Civil War saw the fascist Franco take control of Spain. This lasted from 1936 to 1939.

Franklin D. Roosevelt did not personally end World War II as he passed away in April 1945, before the war's official conclusion. However, he played a crucial role in leading the United States during the war and implementing policies that contributed to its end. His administration provided significant support to the Allies, particularly through the Lend-Lease Act and the decision to enter the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The ultimate defeat of Nazi Germany and Japan was achieved through the combined efforts of the Allied forces.
He pushed through a large number of economic programs that hired workers. What really worked was to enter World War II in which 500,000 men were drafted and thousands of men and women worked in defense industries.
