Franklin D. Roosevelt sought and won a third term in 1940 primarily due to the unprecedented circumstances of World War II and the ongoing Great Depression. Many Americans felt that his leadership was essential for navigating the country through these challenging times, as he had already implemented significant recovery programs and demonstrated strong leadership. Additionally, there was a lack of a strong alternative candidate within the Democratic Party, allowing Roosevelt to break the two-term tradition established by George Washington. His election was also driven by a desire for continuity in foreign and domestic policy during a period of global uncertainty.
